At Buxton, we’ve always believed that trust is the foundation of every relationship: whether it’s helping someone find their place in the world, guiding them through a sale, or supporting them as part of our community. That’s why we’re committed to staying ahead of the changes that shape our industry.
From 1 July 2026, new anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) obligations will come into effect across the real estate sector. These reforms are designed to strengthen transparency and security, ensuring even greater protection for clients, communities, and businesses.
To make sure Buxton is prepared well before these changes arrive, we are proud to announce our partnership with First AML, a global leader in AML compliance.
By partnering with First AML, Buxton gains access to a best-in-class compliance program specifically designed for the real estate industry. This includes secure identity verification and reporting systems that protect both our clients and their transactions. In addition, our team benefits from comprehensive training and ongoing support, ensuring that processes remain simple, consistent, and effective across every interaction.
For our clients, this partnership means confidence. It means knowing that Buxton is not only compliant with upcoming reforms, but also proactively adopting world-class systems to make every interaction safer, smoother, and more secure.
For our communities, it’s another example of how Buxton continues to lead with responsibility, forward-thinking, and care.
The new reforms don’t come into effect until 2026, but our work starts now. By acting early and partnering with First AML, Buxton is ensuring that our people, our systems, and our clients are ready well before the deadline.
At Buxton, we don’t wait for change to arrive. We move with it.
