Certaby

Pricing

The hub is free. Create a transaction, add the parties and the property, and see exactly which checks apply. You only pay per check you run, from 49p. No subscription. Checks run from a credit balance: the smallest top-up is £5 and credit never expires.

Doing one let yourself? Some of these checks are free at source (the OFSI sanctions list, the free gov.uk Right to Rent check). Certaby is worth paying for when you need them aggregated into a signed, inspection-ready record, or you are doing this at volume.

Start a transaction

Run a transaction

Pay only for the checks each let or sale needs.

Create a transaction, add the parties and the property, and Certaby shows exactly which checks apply. You pay per check you run. One signed certificate covering the whole transaction is included at no extra cost, with a verification link for your file.

Right to Rent is free (we guide the gov.uk check and record the statutory-excuse outcome) and applies in England only. Identity verification is on enquiry through a certified partner. One signed certificate per transaction is always included.

Sanctions, PEP and adverse-media screening applies UK-wide (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland). Right to Rent is an England-only duty; for properties in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland the transaction skips it and the EPC / MEES verdict reflects the local regime.

Whole-job signed packs

Prefer one call and a profession PDF? Use a pack.

Built for a specific job (letting agent client check, conveyancer transaction). One call runs the full set of checks the regulator expects, with a profession-specific PDF for the file. The transaction hub above runs the same checks and lets you pick exactly what you need.

Not a profession-aligned suite (those are at the top) 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.

Continuous monitoring

Keep your clients screened every day, not just at onboarding.

An optional monthly subscription that re-screens every person and company you add against the sanctions, PEP and adverse-media lists each morning, and emails you the day one becomes a new match. Plans start at £19.99 a month.

AML compliance system

The whole money-laundering system, not just the checks.

For firms in MLR-2017 (the 2017 money-laundering regulations) scope (you also do property sales, or your lettings cross the rent threshold): a monthly system that wraps the checks with the procedures HMRC inspects. A written firm risk assessment, policies and procedures, an MLRO appointment and training log, case management for review and fail outcomes, and a one-click inspection-ready bundle. Sanctions screening and the pay-as-you-go checks above stay available to every firm regardless, with or without this.

See the seven documents and how each maps to an HMRC inspection →

Certaby is built for occasional and steady use. If your volume is climbing, two cheaper paths exist: both run by the same team, both transparently priced.

Occasional / one-off

PAYG (Certaby)

No commitment. Pay by the check. Credit packs never expire.

You're already here

Ongoing / programmatic

API subscription (Stratum)

Same data via REST API. Cheaper per-call rate at scale than any Certaby band. Monthly subscription, predictable price.
