Every product we produce is written by compliance and estate agency professionals who understand the regulatory landscape from the inside. We don't adapt generic business training for estate agents — we build from scratch for the specific obligations estate agents face.

Our AML training is based directly on MLR 2017, POCA 2002 and HMRC guidance. Our income stream research is specific to UK estate agency business models. Everything we produce is practical, legally accurate, and designed to be used — not filed.

"We aim to make compliance non-intrusive and straightforward — and to give estate agents tools that actually help them run better businesses."

Bespoke consultancy

AI agent automation,
built around your agency.

Most agencies are drowning in repeatable admin — chasing documents, re-keying data between systems, answering the same enquiries, writing the same follow-ups. AI agents can take that work off your team, but only if they're built around how your agency actually operates.

This is hands-on consultancy, not a course. We map your workflows, identify what's genuinely worth automating, and build it — with a human checkpoint anywhere a mistake would cost you.

Lead handling & follow-up

Enquiries captured, qualified, routed and followed up automatically — so nothing sits unanswered over a weekend.

Admin & data between systems

Stop re-keying the same details across your CRM, portals and paperwork. Agents move it for you, consistently.

Compliance & document chasing

Automated reminders, document requests and audit trails — the jobs that get forgotten until they become a problem.

Compliance, answered
plainly.

Straight answers to the questions UK estate agents, letting agents and property sourcers ask most — based on current legislation and HMRC guidance.

What compliance do I need to set up a new UK estate or letting agency?

A new UK estate or letting agency typically needs: HMRC anti-money laundering registration and a written AML programme under MLR 2017; membership of a government-approved redress scheme; Client Money Protection if you handle client money as a letting agent; ICO registration for data protection; professional indemnity insurance; and, for lettings, procedures aligned to the Renters' Rights Act 2025. Our free New Agency Compliance Starter Guide walks through each step in order.

Do UK estate agents have to register with HMRC for anti-money laundering?

Yes. Estate agency work is supervised for anti-money laundering by HMRC under the Money Laundering Regulations 2017. Agencies must register with HMRC, appoint a nominated officer, carry out customer due diligence, keep a firm-wide risk assessment, and train staff — with records to evidence it during an inspection.

When does the Renters' Rights Act 2025 come into force?

The Renters' Rights Act 2025 came into force on 1 May 2026. It abolished Section 21 no-fault evictions and fixed-term assured shorthold tenancies, moved all tenancies to periodic, introduced a new Section 13 rent-increase process on Form 4A, and added pet and anti-discrimination provisions. One transitional deadline remains live: any Section 21 notice served before 1 May 2026 must reach court by 31 July 2026 or it lapses.

Do property sourcers need AML compliance?

Yes. Property sourcing is treated as estate-agency work under the Estate Agents Act 1979 and is supervised by HMRC under MLR 2017. Sourcers must register, apply customer due diligence across multi-party deals and introducer chains, and train staff on the sourcing-specific risks rather than standard single-party sales.

What is the difference between the £80 AML guide and the £280 bespoke wizard?

The £80 Written Procedures Guide is a do-it-yourself document: you read it and type your own procedures in Word, adapting the templates. The £280 Bespoke Procedures Wizard is done-for-you: you answer firm-specific questions across 18 sections and it generates the finished, white-labelled Word document, plus a companion Firm-Wide Risk Assessment.

Does one payment cover all my staff?

Yes, for our training and documentation products. One payment covers your whole team, every branch, with no per-seat fees — including new joiners and annual refreshers. Our software tools, such as recruitment testing and document automation, are billed separately by usage or subscription.

Can I white-label your training and documents under my own brand?

Yes. Our AML and Renters' Rights Act courses are available as white-label licences you can rebrand with your own name, logo and colours and resell to clients. Our White-Label Document Suite also delivers branded tenancy agreements, Section 13 and Section 8 notices and inventories through your own portal.

How does the recruitment aptitude test help agencies hire better?

The Recruitment Aptitude Suite combines DISC personality profiling with practical skills tests — spelling and grammar, mental maths and live typing speed — then produces an instant branded report showing a candidate's fit for roles such as negotiator or property manager. It helps agencies screen applicants from Reed or Indeed on data rather than gut feel, reducing the cost of a bad hire.
