At Manor Oxford, we take the issue of money laundering very seriously. Money laundering is the process by which criminals attempt to disguise the illicit origin of funds obtained through illegal activities, making them appear legitimate. As a responsible and law-abiding estate agency operating in England, we are committed to complying with all applicable regulations and legislation, including the Money Laundering Regulations 2017, the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, the Terrorism Act 2000, and other relevant laws, in our ongoing efforts to combat money laundering and terrorist financing.

To uphold our commitment, we have procedures to prevent and detect money laundering activities. As part of our due diligence process, we conduct thorough client identification checks on all vendors and purchasers at the initiation of our business relationship. These checks are aimed at verifying the identities of our clients and ensuring that they are legitimate entities engaging in lawful transactions.

Furthermore, where appropriate, we diligently seek to establish the source of wealth and the source of funds used in the transactions in which we are involved to ensure that the financial activities of our clients align with legitimate sources and are not tied to any criminal or illegal activities.

We have robust reporting procedures and in the event of any suspicion or reasonable belief that a money laundering offence has been or is being committed, we will report such incidents to the appropriate authorities. We recognise the importance of cooperation with law enforcement agencies and other relevant bodies in the fight against money laundering and its associated crimes.

As a responsible estate agency, we continuously review and update our anti-money laundering measures to stay abreast of the evolving risks and challenges posed by financial crime. We are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of ethical conduct and transparency in all our operations.
