Letting Agent Client Check

The May 2025 sanctions regulation forces every UK letting agent to screen tenant and landlord on every let. This suite does the whole job in one click: sanctions, PEPs, adverse media, PSC tree for corporate landlords, plus a property snapshot. One audit-grade PDF for the client file, valid for 7 years.

What this returns

  • Tenant + landlord screened against OFSI, UN, EU sanctions
  • PEP screen via OpenSanctions catalogue, FATF Recommendation 12 categories + risk tier
  • Adverse media mentions via OpenSanctions, grouped by severity
  • For corporate landlords: PSC tree walked + every UBO screened
  • Property crime breakdown (8-bucket), MEES verdict, flood risk
  • One signed PDF + a public verifier URL for third-party challenge

Agent details

Optional. Overrides the firm name printed on the cert.

Tenant

The natural person who'll occupy the property. Required by the May 2025 sanctions regulation.

Landlord

Either an individual landlord, or a UK company landlord. For a company, we trace its Companies House ownership chain — the 'persons with significant control' (PSC) register — up to each ultimate human owner and screen them too.

Property

The property to be let. Enter the postcode, then pick the address so the EPC / MEES check is for the exact property. The check also returns crime and flood risk for the area.

One full check costs £4.95. Returns a clear pass/review/fail result plus a signed audit-grade PDF, valid for 7 years for HMRC inspection.

Disclosure: screens against the named sources only; not a substitute for full enhanced due diligence. Under MLR-2017, the regulated party (the letting agent) retains responsibility.
