Default Estate Agents & money laundering
We have our house for sale & have just changed agents. The new agents have asked for copies of photo id & a utility bill for money laundering regs. Is this correct?

Yes by law estate agents are required to ask for this but very few do ask. A sign that they are a good agent IMHO as they are doing things properly.

OK thanks for the info. It's nice to see a contract for a change, our last disaster area agents didn't even have a written contract!

Just see it as a lost moderating opportunity.
