Registration of overseas entities with the Companies House
Effective from 1 August 2022, all overseas entities that own or wish to transact with property or land in the UK are legally required to register with Companies House and disclose information about their beneficial owners. This new requirement is part of a broader effort to increase transparency and combat money laundering.
What This Means
If your overseas entity is buying, selling, transferring, leasing, or charging property or land in the UK, you must:
- Register the entity with Companies House
- Identify and provide details of all beneficial owners
This registration must be completed before any transaction can take place.
How We Can Help
We are pleased to announce that I&I Accountants now offers a full registration service for overseas entities.
We will verify the beneficial owners and file the application on behalf of our clients, ensuring full compliance with the new regulations.
Our fee for this service is £350
Please note: This fee does not include the £234 Companies House registration fee payable to the Companies House directly upon registration.
