FCS Compliance launches free property anti-money laundering webinar – The Intermediary


The session takes place on 16th July and will be hosted by Stephen Williamson, lead AML consultant at FCS Compliance’s property division.

FCS Compliance has launched a free property anti-money laundering (AML) webinar for property professionals. 

The session takes place on 16th July at 1.00 pm and lasts 30 minutes. 

Stephen Williamson, lead AML consultant at FCS Compliance’s property division, will host.

HM Treasury updated the money laundering regulations (MLRs) on 30th June 2026. 

More guidance is expected in the coming weeks. 

The webinar will cover what these changes mean for estate and letting agents. 

It will look at how upcoming HMRC guidance could affect day-to-day AML compliance and what HMRC will expect to see in risk assessments, policies and procedures.

Williamson said: “We’ll look at what HMRC is likely to expect, where firms may need to make updates, and the steps that should be taken now to strengthen Risk Assessments and Customer Due Diligence (CDD) processes, policies, training and audit trails.”

The session will also cover when customer due diligence and enhanced due diligence should be reviewed or updated. 

It will show how to identify higher-risk clients, transactions and warning signs. 

The webinar will explain what records, training and audit trails businesses should have in place. 

Practical steps will be given to help strengthen AML controls and be inspection-ready.
