The Property Misdescriptions Act seeks to ensure that everything said about a property is accurate, enabling potential buyers to rely on information provided by the Estate Agent as being correct. The Act places the obligation for accuracy on the Estate Agents, but as Agents do not own the properties they sell, they have to depend on sellers providing them with accurate information and advising them of any errors or inaccuracies in details produced on their behalf. They may also have to check certain information provided by others for themselves – or where this is not possible, to ask those providing such information to certify its accuracy.27. For people selling property through an Agent, this means that:• The Agent relies on the Seller to provide accurate information• The Agent may be obliged to check certain information provided by the Seller for ourselves• The Agent may be obliged to ask the Seller to certify certain information as being correctThese checks and certificates are not a reflection on the honesty or integrity of individual Sellers; they are required to enable us as Estate Agents to comply with legislationMoney Laundering Policies 201728. Changes were made to the Money Laundering Regulations on 26 June 2017 placing a legal requirement on Estate Agents to verify the identity of all sellers at the point of instruction. We will not be able to enter a business relationship with a seller until we have satisfactorily completed this process.29. We do this by requesting that you provide approved documents to confirm your name and residency address. These documents will be retained for a period of 5 years in line with these regulations. We will discuss with you the documents which we can accept and the process that you will need to follow.30. Please understand that we will not be able to issue the Sale Memorandum until we have completed this process.Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs)31. In addition to confirming the identity, we are now required to ascertain whether you or any member of your immediate family is classed as a Politically Exposed Person (PEPs).
