Learn from the most frequent compliance errors that result in hefty penalties from local councils.
Warning: These mistakes can cost you £5,000 per property
1. Expired Certificates
The most common mistake is allowing CMP certificates to expire without renewal. Even a single day of non-coverage can result in fines.
2. Inadequate Coverage
Ensuring your CMP coverage amount matches the maximum client money you hold is crucial. Underinsurance is a serious compliance issue.
3. Poor Record Keeping
Failing to maintain proper audit trails and documentation can lead to penalties during compliance inspections.
