Certaby

For UK letting agents and conveyancers · live · 2026 update

Every let and sale's compliance, handled end to end.

For UK letting agents and conveyancers. Run the sanctions, PEP, ownership and property-risk checks each let or sale needs, keep the signed evidence with a 7-year verify link, monitor the parties for changes, and hold the written AML policies and records an HMRC inspection asks for. One place, pay per check.

Since the May 2025 sanctions rule, every UK letting agent must screen the tenant and landlord on every let, and conveyancers carry the same duty on a sale. HMRC is penalising firms that cannot show the audit trail.

Start free, then handle your first let or sale:

Why Certaby

Three things you only get here.

Property-risk on the same record

Flood, MEES, radon, coal mining, contaminated land, and knotweed alongside the AML check, in one signed PDF. Across the 22 vendors we compared, the only one we found that overlays property risk on the compliance flow.

Certificates that outlast your subscription

Every check ships a signed PDF with a /verify URL that resolves for 7 years, even if you cancel. Most tools lock your certificates behind an active subscription, so cancelling loses your audit trail.

How verification works

Pay per check, no contract

Pay per check with no annual minimum, no seat licences and no sales call. Transparent sources named on the cert (OpenSanctions for sanctions and PEP), not a proprietary black box.

How it works

1

Start a transaction

Open the hub and start a let or a sale. Add the parties and the property, and Certaby shows exactly which checks the regulations ask for.

2

Run the checks, pay per check

See the price upfront and run the checks you need. Right to Rent is free, and one signed certificate for the whole transaction is included.

3

Keep the signed evidence

Results land in seconds with a hash-verified certificate and a 7-year verify link. Add monitoring or the AML documents when you need them.

UK-hosted in London. Built on the same engine as our developer-focused sister brand, Stratum APIs.

Data sourced live from the official registers. UK GDPR compliant by design.

Source freshness

We pull every check from the official register, every time.

No cached lists going stale; no "last updated 6 months ago". Each source below is what a UK regulator or HM Government publishes, refreshed on the cadence shown.
