The real estate market under greater scrutiny. The EU is introducing uniform anti-money-laundering rules.

▤ Summary

The EU is tightening anti-money-laundering rules for real estate businesses, including developers, brokers, and auctioneers. The new framework aims to standardize obligations across member states and make supervision more consistent. It also creates the new AMLA authority, which will coordinate oversight while national regulators keep direct control in the real estate sector. Real estate firms will need to review customer due diligence, transaction monitoring, record retention, beneficial ownership checks, and internal systems to stay compliant.
