We are legally required to carry out anti-money laundering (AML) checks on all sellers and buyers. Although Lawsons Estate Agents remains responsible for ensuring that these checks, and any ongoing monitoring, are completed correctly, the initial identity and verification checks are carried out on our behalf by Landmark who will contact you once you have instructed us to act on your sale, or once your offer on a property has been accepted.

The cost of these checks is £25 (including VAT) per person. This fee covers the cost of obtaining the relevant data, together with any manual checks and monitoring that may be required. The fee must be paid in advance directly to Lawsons Estate Agents before we are able to market your property (for sellers) or issue a memorandum of sale (for buyers). This fee is non-refundable. Lawsons Estate Agents will receive a proportion of this fee in order to compensate us for our role in providing and administering these checks.
