VAT
In addition to the purchase price, should any sale of the property or any right attached to it become chargeable supply for the purpose of Value Added Tax, such shall be payable by the Purchaser(s) in addition to any monies to be paid during the course of the sale and the Purchaser shall indemnify the Vendors in respect

thereof, including interest or penalty payments. No election has been made to charge VAT on property sales.

Anti-Money Laundering
In accordance with the most recent Anti-Money Laundering Legislation, purchaser(s) will be required to provide proof of identity to vendor’s agents once an offer is submitted and prior to solicitors being instructed.

Should you wish to proceed with an offer on this property, we are obligated by HMRC to conduct mandatory Anti-Money Laundering Checks. We outsource these checks to our compliance partners at Coadjute and they charge a fee for this service. We are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those selling or buying a property as prescribed by the Money Laundering Regulations 2017. Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks and any ongoing monitoring are carried out correctly, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Coadjute who will contact you once you have agreed to instruct us in your sale or had an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy. The cost of these checks is £33.00 (incl. VAT), which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us publishing your property (in the case of a vendor) or issuing a memorandum of sale (in the case of a buyer), directly to Coadjute, and is non-refundable. Lacy Scott & Knight do not receive any commission for this payment/service.
