Protect your agency from fraud, stay compliant with AML regulations, and onboard buyers and sellers faster, without slowing down property transactions.
Property transactions are among the highest-value activities estate agents handle, making them a prime target for fraud, money laundering, and regulatory scrutiny.
Without comprehensive AML and KYC/B processes, these risks can directly impact revenue, compliance, and reputation.
Estate agents operate under strict AML supervision, with regulators such as HMRC requiring clear, auditable evidence of customer due diligence. Agencies must ensure every check is documented, traceable, and easily accessible for review.
Property transactions are a high-risk target for financial crime. Estate agents must carry out thorough due diligence on buyers, verifying identities and assessing risk. Failing to identify high-risk individuals, politically exposed persons (PEPs), or suspicious activity can result in regulatory breaches, fines, and potential legal liability.
Manual onboarding processes like collecting ID documents via email, chasing proof of address, and conducting checks across multiple systems slow down the sales and lettings process. These delays can frustrate buyers and sellers, cause deals to fall through, and create bottlenecks at critical stages such as offer acceptance or exchange.
Estate agents are increasingly targeted by sophisticated fraudsters posing as legitimate buyers, sellers, or landlords. Criminals may use stolen identities, synthetic profiles, or falsified documents to list properties they do not own, intercept sale proceeds, or gain access to rental income.

Verify buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants in minutes with automated ID checks, biometric liveness, and address verification, reducing delays and keeping deals moving.

KYC is critical for estate agents because property transactions are high-value and attractive to fraudsters and money launderers. Verifying the identities of buyers, sellers, and landlords ensures that agencies are not inadvertently facilitating fraudulent transactions or breaching AML regulations.
KYC reduces the risk of impersonation, protects against unlawful property transfers, and ensures that all clients meet regulatory requirements, helping estate agents maintain compliance with HMRC and other authorities.
Our platform prevents property fraud by combining multiple layers of verification. Identity documents are authenticated, biometric liveness confirms physical presence, injection attack detection stops camera bypass and manipulation, and addresses are verified against trusted data sources.
Additionally, AML screening checks clients against global sanctions, politically exposed persons (PEP) lists, and adverse media. By flagging high-risk individuals or suspicious activity before transactions progress, estate agents can reduce exposure to fraud, safeguard client funds, and avoid costly legal and reputational issues.
