Sellers Legal Compliance Pack

Before bringing your property to market we must conduct Anti Money Laundering Checks on all legal owners of the property. We must also confirm the legal ownership by downloading the title register and title plan for your property. This fee covers the costs associated with us carrying out these obligations and are non refundable should the sale not progress to legal completion.

We are required to carry out by the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017, an electronic identification check on all vendors. Carver Residential use an electronic verification system to verify purchasers’ identity that is not a credit check so it will have no effect on credit history. As required by our regulations, the search result will be securely retained by Carver Residential.
