Sellers & Buyers
At Wilkinson Estate Agents, we are committed to ensuring that all property transactions are conducted in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. As part of this commitment, all relevant clients are required to complete the necessary customer due diligence (CDD), identity verification and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks before we can proceed with our services.
We regret that we are unable to conduct business with customers who do not comply with the applicable legal and regulatory requirements. Copies of customer due diligence records will be retained securely for the required period of five years to meet our legal and regulatory obligations. These records will be stored securely and may be retained in electronic format.
AML & Identity Verification Fee
As part of our commitment to secure and compliant property transactions, an AML and identity verification fee of £20 + VAT per individual will apply to the required screening and verification checks.
This fee covers the necessary Know Your Customer (KYC), identity verification and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) due diligence checks required as part of our onboarding process.
These checks are completed through our secure onboarding system in partnership with Thirdfort, using their trusted identity verification and compliance technology.
The applicable AML and identity verification fee will be clearly explained during the onboarding process, ensuring complete transparency before the checks are carried out.
Please note: The AML and identity verification fee is charged per individual undergoing the checks and is payable at the time the checks are carried out. The fee is not charged per property.
We appreciate your cooperation with these requirements, which help us maintain a secure, transparent and legally compliant service for all our clients.
