Anti-Money Laundering Requirements

We may be required by applicable anti-money laundering legislation (including but not limited to The Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 and any supplemental and related statutory instruments or regulations), to gather specific information about our contracting parties (as well as those who represent, own, control and manage them) and the proposed transaction or services.

In compliance with the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017, JLL may be obligated by law to request additional information and evidence regarding the Source of Wealth and Source of Funds of a purchase. This ensures transparency and helps prevent illicit activities such as money laundering and terrorist financing. We appreciate your cooperation in providing the necessary details.

For further information and a non-exhaustive list of acceptable evidence of Source of Wealth and Source of Funds can be found here.

The law requires you to provide accurate and complete information. It is important you start preparing all documents as soon as possible to minimise any delays. Unfortunately, failure to do so will prohibit us from providing professional real estate services to you (e.g. buying, selling or leasing property).
