Agents Note - Anti Money Laundering
By law, we are required to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all potential buyers and sellers, and we take this responsibility very seriously. In line with HMRC guidelines, our trusted partner, Coadjute, will securely manage these checks on our behalf. Once an offer is accepted (subject to contract), Coadjute will send a secure link for you to complete the biometric checks electronically. A non-refundable fee of £45+ VAT per person will apply for these checks, and Coadjute will handle the payment for this service. These anti-money laundering checks must be completed before we can send the memorandum of sale to the solicitors to confirm the sale.

Flood Risk
Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
