Anti-money laundering compliance - White House Property Partners

ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING (AML) AND
COUNTER-TERRORISM FINANCING (CTF)

From 1 July 2026, real estate agencies across Australia have new legal obligations under Australia’s Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) laws. As part of these requirements, we need to collect and verify additional information from buyers and sellers before or during the settlement process.

These checks are not personal. They are a legal requirement that applies across the property industry and are designed to help prevent fraud, money laundering, terrorism financing and the misuse of Australia’s property system.

To fulfil our legal obligations, White House Property Partners has engaged First AML, a specialist Customer Due Diligence (CDD) provider, to securely manage the identity verification process on our behalf. First AML will securely manage the identity verification process on our behalf.

First AML will email you a link to an electronic verification form which you will need to complete online promptly to avoid settlement delays. You will be asked to provide information to confirm your name, date of birth and address.

In the case of Companies or Trusts, the Directors, Shareholders, Trustees, and Non discretionary Trust Beneficiaries may also need to provide this information. If a Trust is involved with the transaction, the Trust Deed will need to be provided.

In some cases, additional documentation such as evidence of source of funds or source of wealth may be required under legislation requirements.

How Will My Information Be Used?

Your information will be used for the sole purpose of conducting CDD and identity verification. Your information will remain confidential and will not be shared outside of First AML or White House Property Partners without your consent.

Already Completed Verification?

If you have previously completed identity verification through First AML, please let us know. With your consent, First AML may be able to reuse your existing verification, saving you the time of repeating the process.

Need Assistance?

If you have any questions about these requirements or the verification process, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your White House Property Partners representative. We’re here to guide you every step of the way and make this process as smooth and straightforward as possible.

This sale and move must have been the most professional and smooth-flowing that we have experienced, having done 20 over the years.

The key to this feeling was Catherine, a charming and lovely young lady whose communication skills were without question the very best. Nothing was too much, and her concern for us and our needs was beyond reproach; we feel that she became one of our family, and we will miss her interaction and friendliness.

Catherine made every step of selling my property easy

Catherine and the team are very approachable and really make it feel like you’re on the same side! This family feel at White House have all the knowledge we needed regarding comparative sales, previously sold properties that were very similar to mine, and exact price guides. I can’t recommend Catherine enough, as she really does know the real estate market and made me feel very safe in the sale of the family home.

Thank you, Carlie!

From the moment I met Carlie, I knew she was the right agent for us. She’s professional, approachable, and truly knows the North Coogee market—because she lives there. She listened to our needs, kept us informed, and never pressured us. Her calm, honest approach made selling far less stressful. Her team was also fantastic. I’d recommend Carlie without hesitation—she turned a daunting process into a smooth and positive experience.

Highly recommended

Well handled from start to finish. Helped me with knowledgeable decisions to overcome a couple of small hurdles during the selling process. I had the option of using a previous agent, but I’m glad I switched and decided to trust Curtis. No doubt I made the right choice.
