An Estate Agent’s guide to AML Compliance
AML compliance will never be your favourite task, but it doesn’t have to be a concern. Our movebutler platform is designed to be relied on as a full AML support system.
When it comes to selling a property, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. That’s where our Method of Sale Audit (MOSA) – comes in.
Built into our movebutler onboarding workflow, MOSA is a simple survey for sellers that asks about moving circumstances and priorities. This helps us identify the methods of sale that are best suited; whether that’s Private Treaty, The Modern Method of Auction or something in between, MOSA takes the guesswork out of the recommendations and helps everyone feel more confident from the start.
It’s simple. During onboarding, sellers answer a few quick questions about their situation – things like how quickly they need to move, if they would prefer more security for their sale, or whether they’ve already found their next home. Based on this, MOSA gives tailored recommendations on suitable methods of sale that are most likely to deliver the right result.
If the seller’s current chosen method isn’t the best match, MOSA identifies it and explains why, offering alternatives that could better suit their needs. And if auction comes out on top, the seller can request more information, or a follow-up call with one of our Auction Specialists.
MOSA is part of our mission to raise standards and offer The Modern Method of Auction as a smart, secure, and flexible choice for the right sellers. It also demonstrates compliance through the guidance set out by The Property Ombudsman and NAEA Propertymark* by ensuring sellers receive clear, full and fair information aligning to their circumstances.
MOSA is a small step in the onboarding process that makes a big difference. It gives sellers more confidence, supports agents with better-qualified leads, and helps match people with the method of sale that works for them.
