Money Laundering Regulations

From 26th June 2017, The Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 (more commonly referred to as the 4th Money Laundering Directive) came into force in the UK. These regulations supersede the Money Laundering Regulations 2007 and subsequent amendments.

In short, this requires all Estate Agency businesses to undertake customer due diligence (CDD) on both parties (vendors and purchasers) involved in a sale of a property. Therefore in order to process the matter quickly and efficiently, we will respectively request that if applicable, you provide Photo id (driving licence/passport etc) and proof of your current address (utility bill/current bank/mortgage statement etc) as soon as possible.

Based on our local knowledge and experience, we have well established and high profile estate agency/letting offices in the old market town of Steyning and the vibrant village of Henfield, together with our associate Mayfair Office in London.
