Important Update for Our Clients – New AML/CTF Requirements Coming Soon ✅

From 1 July 2026, settlement agents (like us) will be required to comply with new national Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) laws regulated by AUSTRAC. This is part of the Australian Government’s Tranche 2 reforms affecting the property sector.

Why the changes?
These laws help protect Australia’s property market from being exploited by serious crime, money laundering, and terrorism financing. Similar rules already apply to banks and financial institutions now they’re being extended to conveyancers, real estate agents, lawyers, and others involved in property transactions.

What does this mean for you?
To comply, we’ll need to ask a few extra questions during your initial appointment and complete the verification of ID checks at the start of the transaction. This is standard Customer Due Diligence (similar to what you already do with banks) and includes things like:
• Confirming your identity and verifying documents
• Understanding the purpose of the transaction
• Details about source of funds (e.g. savings, loan, sale of another property)
• Beneficial ownership information (especially if companies or trusts are involved)

This is a normal part of doing business in 2026 and helps ensure your transaction proceeds smoothly and compliantly.
We understand extra paperwork isn’t anyone’s favourite thing, but it’s important for protecting you and the wider community. Our team is fully prepared and here to make the process as easy as possible.
If you have any questions about the new requirements or what information we’ll need, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

We’re here to make your property journey stress-free, now and into the future! 🏡

🤝 Proud to be part of something bigger

We were incredibly honoured to be invited to join the Constellar Community Compact and attend the recent signing event alongside other local organisations and future residents.

It was a fantastic afternoon connecting with like-minded people who are all passionate about building a strong, supportive, and connected local community 💚

At Byford Settlements, community has always been at the heart of what we do, so being part of this initiative is something we’re truly proud of.

We’re excited to see what’s ahead and to continue supporting the growth of our local area 🙌

When others say “too hard”… we step in 💪
Helping our clients navigate even the most complex settlements is what we do best.

Review continued below 👇🏼😍

What stood out most was their professionalism and attitude always polite, responsive, and easy to deal with, no matter how complex things became. Their willingness to take on a challenging settlement and see it through to completion speaks volumes about their commitment and expertise.

I would highly recommend Sandy and the team at Byford Settlements to anyone, especially if you need someone who is prepared to go the extra mile and handle more complex matters with confidence and care.
