ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING (AML) We are required by law to conduct Anti-money laundering checks on all those 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 Lifetime Legal who will contact you once you have had an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy. The cost of these checks is £48 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 before issuing a memorandum of sale directly to Lifetime Legal, and is non-refundable.
AGENTS NOTES Misrepresentations Act 1967: These details are prepared as a general guide only and should not be relied upon as a basis to enter a legal contract or to commit expenditure. Any interested party should rely solely on their own surveyor, solicitor or other professionals before committing themselves to any expenditure or other legal commitments. If any interested party wishes to rely on any information from the agent, then a request should be made and specific written confirmation can be provided. The agent will not be responsible for any verbal statement made by any member of staff, as only a specific written confirmation should be relied upon. The agent will not be responsible for any loss other than when specific written confirmation has been requested. The sales particulars may change in the course of time and any interested party is advised to make a final inspection of the property prior to exchange of contracts.
Property Misdescriptions Act 1991: The agent has not tested any apparatus, equipment, fixture, fittings or services and does not verify they are in working order, fit for their purpose, or within ownership of the sellers, therefore the buyer must assume the information given is incorrect. Neither has the agent checked the legal documentation to verify legal status of the property. A buyer must assume the information is incorrect until it has been verified by their own solicitors. Nothing concerning the type of construction, condition of the structure or its surroundings is to be implied from the photograph, artist's impression or plans of the property.
