Estate Agents & Money Laundering Regulations 2017 – New Requirements

Hello fellow professional

From the 26th of June 2017, the new UK Money Laundering Regulations 2017 (“MLR17”) came into force placing new legal and regulatory requirements on Estate Agency Businesses (EABs).

It is my pleasure to announce that Compliance Consultant has created a solution to help EABs get up to speed and fully comply with the new rules.

The MLR17s are an amendment to the current legislation which has been enforced since 2007. ALL EABs must comply with these requirements which also bring into force a new statutory regulator which will regulate all EABs from both a financial crime and conduct perspective. Any EAB which fails to comply with the complex regulations will face financial and legal penalties from both a company and individual level.
