We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

Compliance Agents are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those buying a property.
We outsource the initial checks to a partner supplier, Coadjute, who will contact you once you have had an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy.
The cost of these checks is £40 + VAT per person. This is a non-refundable fee. These charges cover the cost of obtaining relevant data, any manual checks and monitoring which might be required.
This fee will need to be paid, and the checks completed in advance of the office issuing a memorandum of sale on the property you would like to buy.
