The Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 set the framework for how financial records should be maintained.\r\n\r\nUnder current regulations, estate agents and solicitors are required to retain these documents for a period of at least five years following the end of a business relationship or the completion of a transaction. The Property Ombudsman recommends a period of six years for Estate Agents and the Law Society, twelve years for Solicitors. This means that even after the sale or purchase is finalised and business concludes, the records should still be accessible for this duration.\r\n\r\nPeter Johnson\r\nSenior Partner","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Peter Johnson","url":"https:\/\/www.reviewsolicitors.co.uk\/48002929\/peter-charles-johnson"}},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https:\/\/www.london-law.co.uk\/proof-of-funds-estate-agents\/#Comment4","dateCreated":"2025-03-22 10:56:04","description":"Hi Peter,\r\nAs a follow up to Nicholas\u2019 question what do Estate Agents actually do with the proof of funds information they obtain and how long are they legally entitled to keep it?\r\nMy wife and I are financially supporting our daughter in buying a property.
