FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Are real estate agents required to screen for PEPs in Spain?

Yes. As obliged subjects under Ley 10/2010, real estate agents and other parties to the transaction must identify whether the client or beneficial owner is a politically exposed person and apply enhanced due diligence where appropriate.
