LandmarkAgent is the UK's leading client onboarding and AML compliance platform for estate agents. Built by Landmark Information Group, LandmarkAgent combines instant electronic ID verification, biometric facial recognition, beneficial ownership checks, Land Registry integration and upfront property data -- all from a single platform that connects directly to your CRM.
Anti-money laundering obligations for UK estate agents have tightened significantly. HMRC inspections now focus on whether agents can demonstrate how their AML processes work in practice -- risk assessments, due diligence, record keeping -- not just whether processes exist. Agents who cannot evidence their compliance are at risk of enforcement action.
Manual ID verification creates liability in two directions. First, paper copies of documents are not the gold standard for identity verification. Second, a file of photocopied passports is not an audit-ready compliance record that satisfies HMRC's requirements for electronic identity verification and risk assessment documentation.
Dispersed compliance records mean your MLRO cannot produce a complete picture of your AML programme on demand. When HMRC inspects, they expect a structured, searchable record of every check, every decision and every risk assessment -- not a folder search.
Beneficial ownership verification -- confirming who ultimately controls the company purchasing a property -- is a specific AML requirement. Without Land Registry integration and a structured workflow, beneficial ownership checks are often incomplete or inconsistently applied across your team.
Inconsistent AML procedures across your team are a compliance liability. When one negotiator conducts thorough electronic checks and another relies on photocopied documents, your overall AML programme is only as strong as its weakest application.
LandmarkAgent centralises client onboarding, identity verification, beneficial ownership checks and upfront property data -- removing the need for multiple systems and manual record-keeping.
LandmarkAgent verifies client identity electronically in minutes. Electronic checks against credit bureau data, biometric facial recognition from a smartphone selfie and document verification are all available without your client needing to attend your office.
For higher-risk transactions or clients presenting fewer traditional ID documents, LandmarkAgent's biometric facial recognition links a live selfie to the document being presented -- providing a higher level of identity assurance than photocopied documents.
LandmarkAgent integrates with Companies House and Land Registry to confirm beneficial ownership of purchasing entities. The check is completed in-platform and the result is logged against the transaction record -- no separate system or manual verification required.
Access Land Registry title information, OC2 requests and title plans directly within LandmarkAgent. Key property data that agents need before instruction is available in the same platform as the AML check -- removing the need to switch between systems.
LandmarkAgent structures your AML records to demonstrate your risk assessment methodology, the due diligence applied to each client, and the decisions made. Records are audit-ready for HMRC inspection without manual preparation.
LandmarkAgent provides access to property searches and upfront material information data early in the transaction. Agents using upfront data reduce fall-through rates and give conveyancers a faster start -- with the data already gathered at instruction.
LandmarkAgent replaces your existing AML workflow with a structured, electronic, auditable process your whole team follows consistently.
When your team takes an instruction, client details are entered into LandmarkAgent. The platform prepopulates from your CRM if integrated, removing duplicate data entry.
LandmarkAgent runs an electronic identity check against the client's details and prompts for additional verification if required. Biometric facial recognition can be requested remotely -- the client receives a link and completes the check from their smartphone.
For corporate buyers or complex ownership structures, LandmarkAgent pulls beneficial ownership data from Companies House and Land Registry and presents it against the transaction record. Your MLRO reviews and signs off.
LandmarkAgent records the risk category applied to the client, the due diligence conducted and the rationale for any enhanced or simplified CDD. The structured record is stored against the transaction and available on demand.
Your AML record is complete, structured and stored in a format that satisfies HMRC's inspection requirements. Your MLRO can produce a full compliance picture for any client, any transaction and any time period without searching across multiple systems.
