No sale no fee Home Information Pack insurance

By
Conveyancing Liability Solutions (CLS) has launched a product to assist conveyancing firms who sell Home Information Packs direct to sellers or has an associated company that does this. The product is a No Sale No Fee insurance policy for the HIP market.
The no sale no fee insurance covers homeowners in the event that the sale of their property either falls through, or fails to sell in a 12 month period from first day marketing where “sale” is classified as exchanging contracts.

In addition homeowners are covered if the sale of their property fails either through accident, sickness or redundancy for instance.

The cost of the HIP, including all searches, estate agency referral fees, legal and marketing fees are covered in the premiums listed below:

Up to £500 limit of indemnity £55
Up to £1,000 limit of indemnity £90

At the end of the 12 month term, if the property has not sold, the homeowner can make a claim to the limit of indemnity purchased.

Sam Cherry, Director of CLS said;

“Our No Sale No Fee insurance policy is a new approach to HIPs and will give people selling their property peace of mind regarding the costs of selling their property in this uncertain market.”

The CLS No Sale No Fee insurance can be sold in conjunction with the Close Payment Services products that allow the home seller to defer the payment of their Home Information Pack. Thus your clients can market their property minimising the initial charges and only pay on completion for this element of the transaction cost – but if it fails to sell the CLS policy will pay for the relevant costs.

To find out more about this policy and the deferred products as well as how to buy it, please contact Sam Cherry at sam.cherry@clsl.co.uk or on 0870 013 0872

How Often Should Your Firm Conduct an Independent AML Audit?

By
In the world of AML compliance, there is a significant difference between doing your work and proving that your work is effective. Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance is no longer a "set it and forget it" task. For firms regulated under the Money Laundering Regulations (MLR 2017), the requirement for an independent AML audit is a critical hurdle. But a common question persists among MLROs and Compliance Officers: How often do we actually need to do this? 1. The Regulatory Starting Point: "When Appropriate" The law (specifically Regulation 21 of the MLR 2017) states that a relevant person must establish an independent audit function "where appropriate, with regard to the size and nature of its business." While the legislation doesn’t give a hard calendar date, the consensus among regulators—including the SRA and the Legal Sector Affinity Group (LSAG)—is that for most firms, an audit should be conducted at least every 2 yea...

FCA AML Audit: The SRA Is Out, the FCA Is In

By
For years, law firms prepared for AML scrutiny with one regulator in mind: the SRA. That era is over. The UK Government has confirmed a fundamental shift in supervision. AML and counter-terrorist financing oversight is moving from the SRA to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). This is not a cosmetic change. It is a full regulatory reset. If your firm is still thinking in terms of an internal review, an FCA AML audit will feel very different, financially, operationally, and reputationally. What Makes an FCA AML Audit Different The SRA regulates professional standards. The FCA enforces financial crime controls. That distinction matters. An FCA AML audit is not designed to guide or educate. It is designed to assess risk to the financial system and determine whether enforcement action is required. This is precisely why firms can no longer rely on internal reviews alone. An FCA AML audit will expect to see independent challenge, most ...

FCA AML Audit: Financial Regulator Takes Over Legal Oversight!

By
The UK government has dropped a regulatory bombshell that will fundamentally reshape your life, and yes, we are talking about the dreaded FCA AML audit. For years, you’ve been supervised by your legal peers, the SRA, but those days of relative comfort are drawing to a close. The big news? Responsibility for Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF) supervision for the legal and accountancy sectors is being handed over to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA. That's right, the same folks who put the fear of God into the big banks are now coming for your conveyancing files. Cue the dramatic music. What does the FCA take-over actually mean? Forget the gentle nudge; prepare for the financial services full-body search. An FCA AML audit is likely to look a lot more like a detailed financial inspection and a lot less like a polite chat with the SRA. Think maximum emphasison: Ironclad AML documentation (no more "it's in my head" polici...
