The law requires us to follow procedures to prevent criminals from being able to use our services to launder money, or to finance terrorism.
We are required to check that our clients are who they claim.
All clients with MMS that we arrange a mortgage, product transfer, sell, buy or let for, will have a money laundering check carried out. Two forms of ID are required and we use a firm called Credit Safe to carry out these online checks for mortgages and sales. Checks are free of charge to the customer.
Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks for Landlords and Tenants will either be with the referencing company we use at the time or Credit Safe.
