Home / Sourcing compliance check
For property sourcers and deal packagers

Are you actually compliant?

Six questions, answered privately in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere, there is no signup, and you get the full answer whether or not you ever speak to us.

Most guidance for sourcers jumps straight to a list of registrations without asking the prior question, which is whether what you do falls within the Estate Agents Act 1979 at all. It is worth getting that right first, because the answer decides everything after it. Start there.

First, does the Act apply to you?

Do investors instruct you to find property for them?

Whether or not a fee is agreed up front, and whether they are individuals or companies.

Do you do more than publish a list of properties?

For example negotiating with the vendor or their agent, agreeing a price, tying the property up, or progressing the transaction after you introduce it.

This page is general information about the regime, not legal advice, and it cannot take account of your particular arrangements. Whether the Estate Agents Act 1979 applies to a given business turns on the facts of what it does. Fundsure Limited is registered with HMRC for anti-money-laundering supervision.
