At Cunningham and Country, we take compliance seriously. We are fully committed to adhering to all legal and regulatory requirements to provide a safe, secure, and professional service for all our clients. Below, we outline the key licenses and memberships that underpin our operations and ensure the highest standards of service.
Anti-Money Laundering License
As part of the property sector’s regulatory requirements, we are registered with HMRC for Anti-Money Laundering (AML) supervision.
This ensures that we comply with the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing, and Transfer of Funds Regulations 2017.
Why it matters: Protects against fraud and money laundering during property transactions.
What we do: We carry out robust client verification checks and source-of-funds reviews to safeguard all parties involved.
Data Protection (ICO Registration)
We are registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) to ensure compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).
Why it matters: This protects your personal data and ensures it is handled securely and transparently.
What we do: We use industry-standard security measures to store and manage your information and adhere to strict data protection protocols.
Property Ombudsman
Cunningham and Country is a proud member of the Property Ombudsman Scheme, an independent organisation offering dispute resolution for estate agents and their clients.

What We Do: We operate with integrity, handle complaints professionally, and ensure all our services comply with TPO standards.
Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme
Cunningham and Country uses the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS), a government-approved service for protecting tenant deposits. This scheme ensures deposits are handled securely and disputes are resolved fairly.
Why It Matters: Deposit protection is a legal requirement, safeguarding tenants’ money and providing landlords with clear, impartial resolution processes if disputes arise. It ensures transparency and trust for both parties.
What We Do: We register all deposits with the TDS and provide tenants and landlords with the required documentation. This ensures compliance with the law and peace of mind for everyone involved.
