We are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those selling or buying a property.

The cost of these checks is £72 (incl. VAT), which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required.

We will receive some of the fee taken by Lifetime Legal to compensate for its role in the provision of these checks.
