ANIT-MONEY LAUNDERING POLICY

Juszt Capital is committed to ensuring that it has adequate controls to counter money laundering activities and terrorist financing activities, in line with the Money Laundering Regulations 2007. This means that we have a legal obligation to obtain and hold identification and proof of address/homeownership for all our customers, including landlords intending to rent out their property through us and homeowners wishing to list their property for sale with us. This also extends to our buyers, along with all tenant applications.

 

We take a risk-sensitive approach throughout our business in order to anticipate and prevent such activities. We aim to identify criteria that would indicate a higher risk of money laundering.

 

HOW WE MANAGE THE RISK

Juszt Capital is committed to staff training in Anti-Money Laundering Legislation and this is also covered as a part of our induction training and yearly, ongoing monitoring of training and possible new/revised legislation. Juszt Capital has a nominated Money Laundering Reporting Officer - Richard Juszt. Their responsibility is to receive internal reports and report any suspicious activity in a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) to the National Crime Agency as necessary. This Nominated Officer is the director- Richard Juszt and the deputy officer is Vanessa.

IDENTIFICATION PROCEDURES

By carrying out ‘due diligence’ procedures on every occasion, this will alleviate the risks of our business being used to launder money or fund terrorism. All landlords, tenants, vendors and purchasers must be identified fully with at least two forms of ID (both photographic) and evidence of residence, along with proof of homeownership documents. We require sight of all original or certified documents- a photocopy or email will not be acceptable. If the property is held in more than one name, then the verification checks must be carried out for each individual. If the seller is living at another address, we will require proof of their current address. If the seller is living overseas or afar, then the ID must be countersigned as authentic by a professional person known to that person within the vendor’s jurisdiction.

 

It is our best practice to only deal with customers face to face, however, should this form of communication not be available, then enhanced due diligence procedures will need to be adopted through asking for additional information or evidence to establish the customer’s identity and through ensuring that the documents that are supplied, are certified. We will also ensure that any lettings payments are made to a bank account in the customer’s name. If the verification of the customer’s identity is done by documents, this is based on a government-issued document with the customer’s full name and photo, with either the customer’s date of birth or residential address.

 

Acceptable ID document requirements are as follows:

 

INDIVIDUAL IDENTITY DOCUMENTS

We will require one document from List A and one from List B dated within the past 3 months for each owner/buyer/landlord/tenant of a property (from both parties if there is more than one owner).

SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY REPORTING

As part of our duty to recognise any signs of suspicious activity, should we become concerned by the authenticity of any information provided, or become suspicious about any aspect of a sale/let, or that a person is/ or has been engaged in money laundering/terrorist financing, we are obliged to report and submit a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) to the NCA National Crime Agency at nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk.

 

Some warning signs of suspicious activity that we might consider are:

• Transactions are not at arm’s length, i.e. purchasers from abroad that have not viewed a property

• A transaction or valuation request for a property that is way below the market value

• A reluctance to provide information for identity checks

• Delaying providing any contracts or ID

• Asking us to hold cash in our client account

• Settlements being offered in cash

• Intermediaries used to hide identification of the purchaser

• Funds going overseas to a third party

• No apparent reason for using Juszt Capital

• A late change to parties in a sale/purchase

• Significant and unexpected improvement in their financial position

• Customer reluctance to show the source of funds

 

ADDITIONAL PEP & ADVERSE MEDIA CHECKS

We will check all against the HM Treasury consolidating sanctions list as a Politically Exposed Person (PEP). We will also carry out adverse media (negative news) screening via searching the public information domain, where news items, publications, and other print or electronic records exist i.e. to conduct a Google ‘Boolean’ search and document the assessment and the rationale for any decisions made, ensuring it is from a reputable source.

 

ONGOING RECORD KEEPING

As part of our ongoing commitments, all vendors, buyers and landlords and current tenants will be subject to continuous monitoring. As part of ongoing compliance with the regulations, all records will be kept on file for five years after the end of the customer relationship, or five years from the date when the transaction was completed along with any supporting records relating to a customer relationship or occasional transaction for five years from the date when the transaction was completed.
