Information collected from other sources
In order to identify the legal owners of properties and land that we market, and properties we let, we obtain from the Land Registry office copy entries to verify the legal names of the legal owners. This information is already a matter of public record.
When we take instructions from a Company to sell, buy, or let a property/land we will usually cross check information provided to us with what is available on the Companies House database. Again, this is a matter of public record.
Property portals such as: Rightmove, Zoopla and Prime Location, send us your personal data when you have requested them to do so.

How do we use personal information?
The primary use of your information is in order to provide a service to you and for the following purposes:
When carrying out business activities in relation to the valuation, sale or purchase of property we collect the following personal information that you provide to us:
Your property address when arranging a valuation/ market appraisal.
Your email address to send you our Privacy Notice/ Policy, our Terms of Business and Agency Agreement (when you are selling with us) and property details (when you are buying with us); and general correspondence that occurs within the nature of our business.
Your communications with us, including a record of emails and phone correspondence between us both.
Any questions, queries and feedback etc. that raise to us, we will likely liaise with buyers/sellers and/ or third parties.
When you are not the property’s legal owner, we will request details from you to prove your ability to sell the property i.e. Grant of Probate, Power of Attorney, Guardianship Order.
As a seller/vendor, when you accept an offer on your property or when you have an offer accepted as a buyer, we pass your name, address and the property address (if different) to both your lawyer and to the buyer’s/seller’s lawyer.
To aid the transaction process, we also pass your name and the property address which you are selling/buying to other lawyers and agents in the chain. We will never pass them your contact details or proof of identity documentation without your prior permission.
For ‘new build’ properties, we will pass on your personal contact details to the developer, usually detailing these on the developer’s reservation form, which will be signed by you and you will receive a copy of.
We may offer to introduce you to a mortgage broker or surveyor, but we will always seek your consent first to pass on your contact details.
Whether information has to be provided by you, and why.
The ‘official’ name for the current UK money laundering regulations is: Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017.
To comply with the current money laundering regulations, we are obliged to obtain from you— and also verify—copies of your photo identification, such as a valid passport or a valid photo driving licence, together with proof of address documentation, such as a recent bank statement or utility bill. We may ask for your National Insurance number.

If you are a non-British passport holder, we may ask for further information including sight of a UK Biometric Residency Permit (BRP). We will ask to see original documents, make our own copy, which we will then certify as a true copy of the original and which we will store electronically. For security reasons we arrange to securely destroy paper copy documents that we have made. In the case of a purchase under the regulations we are usually required to see ‘proof of funds’ and ‘source of funds’ and if we take a copy of documentary evidence again, we will store this electronically and then securely destroy the paper copy.
This proof of identity personal information must be provided by you to us, to enable us to comply with law, and we will inform you whether you are required to provide this information to us. When selling a property this will be at an early stage, and well before the property being launched to the market. When buying a property, we must have your proof of identity documentation and proof of the source of your funds before we can issue a Memorandum of Sale.
