Is your client’s property funding crime?
The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) estimated that $1.6 trillion were laundered in 2021, which was nearly half the real estate sector’s total worth (around $3.7 trillion)
As real estate is attractive to money launderers, verifying the identity of the ultimate beneficial owner (UBO), assessing the risk profiles of clients and uncovering if funds are legitimate, are an absolute must and can help mitigate business risks.
Potentials risks in the real estate industry include:
- Country/geographic risk: Location of the buyer and seller, location of the property in relation to the buyer
Customer risk: Charities and non-profit organisations not subject to monitoring, PEPs, cash incentive businesses
Transaction risk: Type of property, quick and successive transactions, under or over-valued transactions
Financial risk: Source of funds, cash deposits, loans from unregulated financial institutions
Not adopting a risk-based approach early on can affect real estate professionals
Delaying and blocking transactions that involve sanctioned individuals and entities.
Freezing assets in possession of sanctioned parties.
Heavy penalties when sanctions are breached
Irreversible reputational damage or prison sentence
Simplifying AML checks for estate agents with a risk-based approach
Carry out all necessary measures to understand the ownership and control structure of any legal entity.
Assess the degree of verification required regarding the beneficial owners depending on the associated ML/TF risks. GUIDANCE FOR A RISK-BASED APPROACH TO THE REAL ESTATE SECTOR | 41 © FATF/OECD 2022
Document the additional procedures to be applied and the measures taken to identify the beneficial owner, as well as the difficulties encountered in establishing identity.
Carry out a thorough search of relevant and available beneficial ownership information, where available to the public, financial institutions, or DNFBPs.
Have a clear and concise policy and relevant training for the basis of a real estate professional or any relevant employee within the business (not limited to the money laundering reporting officer) to lodge a suspicious transaction report when the identity of the beneficial owner has not been satisfied due to a lack of CDD information.
