"We have worked with Chris for a number of years and have found him very helpful/happy to deal with us whenever we have had any questions. Most importantly, the service provided through the www.sanctionssearch.com website has proved invaluable to our business, as it has enabled us to carry out detailed ID checks on all of our new clients – this has given us peace of mind for what, in the grand scheme of things, is a very small/reasonable cost. I have recommended www.sanctionssearch.com to a number of my professional contacts, several of whom are now happily using the service. Additionally, at my company’s recent audit, we were commended for having no fraud cases to date – the auditors were pleasantly surprised that this was the case, given that we now write 800+ mortgages per year. I put a lot of this down to the additional checks that Chris’ company provides for us." - Mark Finnegan - Director - Complete Mortgages
