‘As part of our client’s strategic objective to outsource their UK delivery for statutory filings to a local partner, Accace has provided Overseas Property Registers  services for their clients.

In recent years, many jurisdictions, including the UK, have introduced stricter regulations surrounding the ownership and disclosure of overseas property holdings.

The UK implemented its Overseas Entities Register under the Economic Crime (Transparency and Enforcement) Act 2022. It requires overseas entities that own UK property or land to declare their beneficial owners or managing officers. By partnering with us, our client has successfully complied with the UK’s Overseas Entities Register filing requirements.

The filings not only prevented potential legal penalties but also enhanced the transparency of the client’s ownership structures, a growing demand from regulators worldwide.’
