NAEA Campaigns
As a trade body the NFOPP monitors the development of
international, European, and UK policy and legislation, which may impact upon
its members, and upon their clients.
This work involves forming and maintaining relationships and dialogue
with a wide range of key stakeholders, including other professional bodies,
regulators, and politicians. It is also involves responding to a plethora of
formal and informal consultation exercises being undertaken by government
departments or others, so that the position
and views of members of the NFOPP are taken into full consideration when initiatives relating to the property
sector are being shaped.
Over all the NFOPP aims to be a leading, consistent, and
influential voice on all property related issues. The new Campaigns area of the
NAEA web site is designed to provide members and others with examples of the NFOPP’s
policy portfolio.

International Anti Money Laundering
In order to comply with their anti money laundering obligations estate agents must undertake Customer Due Diligence, which includes making checks on their clients’ identity. One way to reduce the burden of making these checks is for the parties involved in property sales, including estate agents, Financial Institutions, and lawyers, to rely on each other more which would prevent the current duplication of Customer Due Diligence checks.
