ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING
As of 2017, Estate Agents are legally required to undertake Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks on all parties involved in the sale or purchase of a property.
Boatwrights Estate Agents Ltd are members of The Guild of Property Professionals and therefore use a professional service called Guild 365 to facilitate these checks. These checks must be completed before a property is listed for sale and as soon as an offer is accepted. There is a charge for this service at a cost of £30+VAT (per person) which is non-refundable. Boatwrights do receive small proportion of this fee in order to cover our administrative costs.
