DIGITAL MARKETS COMPETITION AND CONSUMERS ACT 2024 (DMCC ACT)
The DMCC Act 2024, which came into force in April 2025, is designed to ensure that consumers are treated fairly and have all the information required to make an informed purchase, whether that be a property or any other consumer goods. Reed & Baum are committed to providing material information relating to the properties we are marketing to assist prospective buyers when making a decision to proceed with the purchase of a property. Please note all information will need to be verified by the buyers' solicitor and is given in good faith from information obtained from sources including but not restricted to HMRC Land Registry, Spectre, Ofcom, Gov.uk and provided by our sellers.
ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING CHECKS
In accordance with Anti Money Laundering laws including the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, The Terrorism Act 2000, The Money Laundering Regulations 2017 and the Bribery Act 2010 we are required to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all clients selling or buying a property. 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 Hipla via their online portal once you have had an offer accepted on a property. The cost of these checks is £25 (incl. VAT) per person, 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 issuing a memorandum of sale, directly to Hipla, and is non-refundable. We will receive some of the fee taken by Hipla to compensate for our role in the provision of these checks.
