As The Negotiator reported, “The rise will heap yet more pressure on estate agencies’ already stretched finances. Industry estimates suggest the property sector is already spending over £125 million annually on anti-money laundering requirements, and individual branches are paying around £6,300 per year when staff time, training and registration fees are taken into consideration.”
The cost of compliance is a growing challenge, and these fee hikes risk adding more strain to your agency. That’s why movebutler is designed to turn compliance from a cost centre into a revenue opportunity — helping you offset fees while saving valuable time.
More than 1500 branches from our existing network of Partner Agents already charge their clients for ID verification – earning an average of £80 per property sold. It’s a small fee per transaction, but one that quickly adds up across the year, transforming a regulatory requirement into a steady, predictable revenue stream.
With movebutler, you decide the fee and who it applies to – buyers, sellers or both. With full visibility for clients in their portal, where they can pay securely online, and receive automatic reminders if needed. Payments are totalled and transferred to you monthly, so it’s simple to manage and transparent for everyone involved.
