Durden & Hunt is committed to maintaining the highest standards of transparency and compliance in all property transactions. As a regulated UK estate agent, we follow strict Anti-Money Laundering (AML) procedures in line with money laundering regulations and guidance from HMRC. 

Anti-money laundering regulations are designed to prevent criminals from using the property market to conceal or transfer illegal funds. UK estate agents are legally required to verify the identity of clients involved in property sales and purchases.

Identity Verification
Before we can market a property or progress with a sale, we are required to complete identity and due diligence checks. Clients may be asked to provide:

• Photo identification (passport or driving licence)

• Proof of address (such as a recent utility bill or bank statement)

• Information confirming the source of funds used in the transaction

Compliance in Property Transactions
These AML checks apply to both property buyers and sellers. Where a purchase involves companies, trusts, or third parties, additional verification may be required to meet regulatory obligations.

Durden & Hunt takes its compliance responsibilities seriously. By following UK Anti-Money Laundering regulations, we help ensure that all property transactions are conducted safely, legally and transparently, protecting both our clients and the wider property market.
