Real estate

AML compliance built for Saudi real estate brokers

Property deals move large sums quickly, and an inspector may ask for evidence without notice. Sanad keeps each client, deal, decision, and retained document traceable, with missing evidence shown before an inspection request arrives.

What makes real estate hard

Large, lump-sum deals

A single sale can cross the cash and high-value thresholds at once. You need both flags raised and explained, not buried.

Payments split to stay under the line

Buyers pay in installments or across several accounts. Structuring checks have to look across the whole relationship, not one receipt.

Owners hidden behind companies

Many buyers are companies. You have to find who really owns them, screen each one, and record the 25 percent basis or the senior manager fallback.

How Sanad handles it

1

Onboard the client

Capture the person or company once, with the National ID or commercial registration and the national address. No relationship goes active without it.

2

Screen before you sign

Every party and every beneficial owner is checked against sanctions and PEP lists before the deal proceeds. A live sanctioned match blocks it.

3

Score the risk

A real estate profile uses higher value and longer dormancy defaults, so the alerts fit how property actually trades.

4

Monitor every payment

Each transaction runs through the rules tuned for your sector. Structuring across installments and round amounts are caught and explained.

5

Submit, then record evidence

After the MLRO submits through TAQASIY, Sanad records the real reference and receipt. The sealed export includes that evidence without claiming an unproven filing.

Real estate questions

Does it cover both brokers and developers?+
Yes. Any real estate business can onboard buyers and sellers, whether individuals or companies, and keep the same traceable evidence file.
How do you handle a company buyer's owners?+
You record each beneficial owner with the basis for control and screen them. The file shows the 25 percent owners, or the senior managing official when no one reaches that share.
Are the thresholds fixed?+
No. Real estate starts with sector defaults you can tune. The core reporting rules stay on by law and cannot be switched off.
