Whitord – Geelong Property News: From 1 July, we're legally required to ask if your house deposit is drug money.
No... seriously.
We've mentioned it a few times in previous newsletters... and now the new Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) laws are officially in effect.
From 1 July 2026, real estate agencies across Australia are legally required to complete identity and source of funds checks for buyers and sellers.
As part of the process, we may ask you to provide photo identification, information about the source of your funds and, in some cases, additional details about your transaction.
These new requirements are designed to help prevent money laundering, fraud and other financial crime, helping to make Australia's property market safer and more transparent for everyone.
While there'll be a little more paperwork than before, our team will guide you through every step to make the process as simple and seamless as possible.
If you have any questions about the new AML requirements or what they mean for your property transaction, please don't hesitate to contact our team.
