What screening matters most in real-estate transactions?
Buyer and seller identity and UBO; sanctions and PEP screening of all parties; source of funds documentation (especially for cash purchases); checks on related parties (lawyers, agents, lenders) where unusual; verification of the chain of payments and the bank account into which funds are released. Flags include rapid resale, undervaluation, third-party payers, and reluctance to disclose UBO of corporate buyers.
