As an estate and lettings business, Hampshire Land Lettings & Sales is legally required to comply with the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017, as amended.

We operate robust procedures to meet these obligations and ensure that all transactions are conducted safely and lawfully.

1. Customer Due Diligence (CDD)

Before entering into a business relationship or property transaction, we will request:

• Proof of identity (e.g., passport, driving licence)

• Proof of address (e.g., utility bill, bank statement)

• Where relevant, proof of property ownership

• For companies, verification of directors and beneficial owners

In some cases, we may require enhanced due diligence, particularly where higher-risk factors are identified.

2. Source of Funds

For property sales and purchases, we are required to verify the legitimate source of funds used in the transaction. This may include:

• Bank statements

• Solicitor letters

• Proof of inheritance

• Business income documentation

We appreciate your cooperation in providing any information we request in order to comply with these statutory obligations.

3. Reporting Obligations

Where required by law, we may file a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) with the National Crime Agency (NCA). For legal reasons, we are not permitted to inform you if such a report is made.

4. Data Protection

All personal information collected for AML purposes is handled securely and in accordance with the UK GDPR and our Privacy Policy.
