Record the business and governance route

Record the supervisor and the estate, letting or combined registration scope confirmed by the business.

2

Describe the operating context

These facts feed the risk-assessment draft. Use specific business language rather than generic statements.

Activities in this pack required

Choose every regulated activity covered by this working pack.

Estate and letting agency operating facts

These answers make the assessment and procedures specific to this business. Record “Not yet confirmed” where the owner still needs to investigate.

3

Make each sector risk explicit

The level is chosen by the responsible person. A rating without supporting business evidence remains incomplete.

6risk prompts

0with evidence
Opaque ownership or control

Could a company, trust, nominee or intermediary obscure the buyer, seller, landlord or tenant?

  • Identify relevant parties and beneficial owners
  • Record authority for representatives
  • Escalate structures without a clear commercial reason
Third-party funds or payments

Are deposits, rent or purchase funds coming from a person who is not the named party?

  • Record the payer and relationship
  • Confirm the reason and authority
  • Escalate unexplained arrangements
Overseas or remote parties

Do country exposure, distance or remote onboarding increase verification or corruption risk?

  • Record country-risk sources
  • Use additional verification where risk requires it
  • Keep a clear audit trail for remote checks
Unusual price or transaction pattern

Is there rapid resale, unexplained price movement, linked activity or an unusually complex structure?

  • Record the commercial explanation
  • Review unusually complex or large activity in context
  • Document written findings
Letting scope and £10,000 threshold

Does a letting relationship meet the current regulation 13 scope or require aggregation review?

  • Record rent, period and scope facts
  • Use the current £10,000 statutory amount from 30 June 2026
  • Do not infer scope from this starter pack alone
Property and location risk

Does the property type, location, intended use or development context increase illicit-finance risk?

  • Record property-specific factors
  • Connect controls to the identified risk
  • Review changes during the transaction or tenancy

Nine-file estate and letting agency packDraft with 6 unrated risks, 6 evidence gaps and no senior approver recorded.

Human decisions remain visible. The pack never assigns risk, confirms scope, approves a customer, determines suspicion or submits a report.

What this tool checks

The scope stays narrow so the result is clear and reproducible.

  • Uses the entered business facts, selected services, governance roles and risk decisions once across the pack.
  • Includes six estate and letting agency risk prompts with editable evidence and control records.
  • Keeps scope, customer risk, suspicion decisions and final approval as named human responsibilities.

From official material to a working record

Official material sets the basis

Official UK material describes the AML obligations and sector context relevant to estate and letting agency businesses.

The tool prepares the operational record

The starter pack applies the recorded business facts consistently across the risk assessment, procedures, registers, checklists and action record.

Official sources stay visible

Each supported check shows its jurisdiction, source title, source version and review date beside the result. Unsupported cases are rejected rather than estimated.

Questions before you use the tool

Scope, files, evidence and browser-local handling.

Does the pack decide whether a property activity or transaction is in scope?

No. The agency records its activities and scope assumptions. A responsible person must resolve whether a particular service or transaction falls within the regulated route.

Does the tool assign the risk ratings?

No. A responsible person chooses each rating and records the business evidence and reasoning behind it.

Are business and customer details uploaded?

No. Entered business facts, risk notes and generated working files remain in this browser.

Are the documents ready to adopt without review?

No. They are working drafts. Authorised people must resolve unfinished fields, tailor the content and approve it before use.
