For UK letting agents and conveyancers · live · 2026 update
Every let and sale's compliance, handled end to end.
For UK letting agents and conveyancers. Run the sanctions, PEP, ownership and property-risk checks each let or sale needs, keep the signed evidence with a 7-year verify link, monitor the parties for changes, and hold the written AML policies and records an HMRC inspection asks for. One place, pay per check.
Since the May 2025 sanctions rule, every UK letting agent must screen the tenant and landlord on every let, and conveyancers carry the same duty on a sale. HMRC is penalising firms that cannot show the audit trail.
The hub is free and you pay per check, no subscription. Letting suite from £4.95, down to £2.95 in bulk. Conveyancer suite from £29.95, down to £19.95 in bulk.
Built on the same engine as our developer brand Stratum APIs. Data live from the official UK registers. UK-hosted.
What does it take to stay AML-compliant on a let or sale in 2026?
More than a one-off check. Certaby brings the parties, the property and the right checks into one transaction, keeps the signed evidence, monitors the parties for changes, and holds the written AML policies and records to show when HMRC asks. Built for the May 2025 sanctions rule that now applies to every UK let and sale.
Flood, MEES, radon, coal mining, contaminated land, and knotweed alongside the AML check, in one signed PDF. Across the 22 vendors we compared, the only one we found that overlays property risk on the compliance flow.
Every check ships a signed PDF with a /verify URL that resolves for 7 years, even if you cancel. Most tools lock your certificates behind an active subscription, so cancelling loses your audit trail.
Pay per check with no annual minimum, no seat licences and no sales call. Transparent sources named on the cert (OpenSanctions for sanctions and PEP), not a proprietary black box.
A transaction runs the checks each let or sale needs and keeps the signed evidence together. You can also run any one of these on its own when that is all you need.

How it works
1
Start a transaction
Open the hub and start a let or a sale. Add the parties and the property, and Certaby shows exactly which checks the regulations ask for.
2
Run the checks, pay per check
See the price upfront and run the checks you need. Right to Rent is free, and one signed certificate for the whole transaction is included.
3
Keep the signed evidence
Results land in seconds with a hash-verified certificate and a 7-year verify link. Add monitoring or the AML documents when you need them.
Mix and match
Combine 2 or 3 single checks at a discount.
Not a profession-aligned suite (those are at the top of the page) and not a single check either. Use a pack when you specifically need 2 or 3 individual checks together at a better price than running them separately.
