The work behind every file, taken off your team
Proof & Source of Funds can take hours on a single matter: gathering information, chasing your client for documents, working through statements from several accounts or contributors, and bringing it all together before you can make your assessment.
We take on that work, so your team can focus on the transaction.
What you don’t have to do
Checks are carried out as requested by your firm for each matter.
What your firm and your client see. Everything else, we handle.

- 5Your firm
Receives the report
A structured report and evidence pack for your review and sign-off.
SureCert gathers and reviews information declared and provided by your client. We do not certify source of funds or make your firm’s AML decision. Your firm remains responsible for its own AML assessment and final decision.
One case record, ready for your review
Your client’s declarations, the evidence, the checks and our findings, brought together in a structured report and evidence pack.
- A case summary and your client’s declarations in one place
- Evidence review, with each document indexed
- Funds reconciled against the required contribution
- Issues raised, and how they were resolved
- Additional sections where relevant: gifts, joint or third-party funds, overseas, crypto, PEP
- The supporting evidence, appended to the report
Built for purchases funded from more than one place
Many purchases aren’t funded from a single account. The service is designed to bring several sources and contributors together and reconcile them to the required contribution.
Every case is different. The information and evidence we ask for depend on your client’s answers and the checks your firm requests.
Developed with Northern Ireland conveyancing firms
We have been developing the service with Northern Ireland conveyancing firms since April 2026. Their feedback has directly shaped our AML form and report, from how third-party money is captured to how ISA savings are handled.
Charged per case
Fees are charged per case, depending on how complex the case is.
Fees can be recharged to your client as a disbursement on the matter.
Talk to us for details of fees for your firm.
