Why this exists

The DIY guide is £80. The consultancy quote is £1,500+. This sits in the middle — for firms that want it done right, without the consultancy bill.

MLR 2017 Regulation 19 requires every regulated estate agency to have a written AML Policy & Procedures document. HMRC expects it. Buyers ask for it. Most firms either buy a cheap template and don't adapt it properly, or pay a consultant £1,500+ for a bespoke document.

The Bespoke Procedures Wizard is the middle path. You answer structured questions about your firm — your MLRO, your services, your client mix, your risk profile, your CDD process — and the wizard generates a fully-drafted, branded, firm-specific document. It's not a template. It's the finished article, produced in the time it takes to make a cup of tea.

What the wizard covers

Eighteen sections — every MLR 2017 obligation, in order.

The wizard is structured around the eighteen sections HMRC expects in a compliant Policy & Procedures document. You answer firm-specific questions; the wizard produces the corresponding section of the document. Sections HMRC doesn't explicitly require (tipping-off reminders, breach policy, whistleblowing) are included anyway because omitting them is a red flag at inspection.

Honest scope

What this is not.

Buyers in compliance appreciate honesty about scope. This product is a document-drafting product. It is not a substitute for the following — and nothing on this page should be read as claiming otherwise.

What this product does NOT do

  • It is not legal advice. We are not solicitors.
  • It does not register your firm with HMRC for AML supervision — that's a separate step you do via gov.uk.
  • It does not appoint your Nominated Officer. You must appoint one before adopting any AML policy.
  • The Policy must be reviewed and signed off by your Nominated Officer before it has any legal effect in your firm.
  • It does not perform CDD for you or file SARs on your behalf. The Policy describes how your firm will do those things — your firm must actually do them.
  • The generated document is a first draft. You remain responsible for reviewing it and adapting it to your firm's actual operations.

Common questions

Before you buy

Is the generated document HMRC-compliant?

Yes. The wizard produces a document structured around MLR 2017 Regulation 19 with every obligation HMRC expects to see in an inspection — CDD procedures, risk assessment reference, SAR process, training records, five-year retention, sanctions screening. That said, the document is a first draft based on your answers. Your Nominated Officer must review and sign it off before it has effect.

What's the difference between this and the £80 DIY guide?

The £80 guide is a 17-page template with guidance. You read it, adapt it, and type your own document in Word — budget for a working day. The £280 Bespoke product is a wizard that produces your firm's finished document in around 20 minutes based on structured questions. Same regulatory content, different amount of your time.

Can I regenerate the document later if my firm changes?

Yes. The wizard is permanently available — go back to it any time, update the answers that have changed, and download a fresh version. There's no re-purchase cost.

What if my firm does something unusual that the wizard doesn't ask about?

The generated document is a Word file. You can edit it freely after download — add custom clauses, append appendices, adapt wording. The wizard gets you 95% of the way in 20 minutes; your MLRO does the remaining 5% with knowledge of your firm that the wizard can't have.

Do I need to appoint a Nominated Officer before buying?

Legally, you need a Nominated Officer before adopting any AML policy. You can buy this product, complete the wizard, and download the draft without having appointed one — but you cannot put the document into effect until you have. If you're not sure whether you have one, answer the question honestly in the wizard and raise it with your MLRO before adoption.

Will the document look branded, or will it look generic?

Branded. You upload your firm's logo during the wizard, pick brand colours and an accent colour, and those appear on the cover page, section headers, and callouts throughout. The document header runs your firm name alongside "AML Policy & Procedures V1.0" on every page.

What happens if HMRC changes MLR 2017 or publishes new guidance?

The wizard is maintained — when MLR guidance changes materially, the underlying document generator is updated and you can regenerate your Policy with the new wording at no additional cost. You're buying access to the wizard, not a one-off file.

How is this delivered? Do I get account logins?

After SamCart payment, you're redirected to the wizard URL. No login, no account. Bookmark the URL — you can come back to it any time. Your answers are not saved between sessions (by design — compliance documents should be reviewed fresh each time, not auto-filled from stale data).
