Processing a transaction: We use relevant personal data (described above) to process and deliver a transaction and to notify you of the status of your transaction. This includes passing your information to third parties, for example solicitors or surveyors. Preventing Money Laundering: We will use your personal data at the appropriate time to conduct an identification check as we have a legal obligation to do so in accordance with the Anti-Money Laundering Regulations. Ability to proceed with an offer on a property: as a potential buyer when you book a viewing we shall contact you to clarify your financial position i.e. do you have a mortgage in principle or are you a cash buyer. Also, whether you have a property to sell to enable you to purchase another property. We will process your personal data for the purposes of our legitimate interests in determining your ability to proceed with a purchase so that the seller has an informed choice should there be an offer. This also has the potential to speed up any subsequent transaction.
