5 Common CMP Mistakes That Lead to Fines

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.
