Linette Teepe Property Consultants, as an Accountable Institution, is by law required to comply with legislative requirements such as outlined in the FIC Act 38 of 2001 and the Financial Intelligence Centre Amendment Act of 2017. This includes the mandatory process of identifying and verifying all parties to a real estate transaction and implementing the risk-based approach and client due diligence process at the commencement of the relationship.

For our business purposes, a business relationship commences:

• With a Seller on mandate
• With a Buyer on signing of the offer to purchase
• With a Lessor on mandate
• With a Lessee on application for a property

Pursuant to the provisions of FICA, Linette Teepe Properties is prohibited from servicing the mandate (including but not limited to listing the property on the internet portals or arrange viewings with potential clients) or process the application or submit the Offer to Purchase until all the required verification documents have been obtained.

WHO IS FIC:

FIC is an acronym for Financial Intelligence Centre established in terms of Section 2 of the Financial Intelligence Centre Act 38 No.38 of 2001 (the FIC Act).

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT:

The main purpose of FIC is to analyse and gather financial data in order to combat Money Laundering, to Identify proceeds of unlawful Activities and to Combat Terrorist Financing. Estate Agents , as accountable institution can be especially vulnerable to this and therefor they need to be able to report to FIC.
