We take a zero-tolerance approach to the facilitation of tax evasion, whether under UK law or under the law of any foreign country. We are committed to upholding all laws relevant to countering tax evasion (including the Criminal Finances Act 2017 (the Act)) in any jurisdiction in which we operate.
It is our policy to conduct all of our business in a professional, fair, honest and ethical manner. We will not tolerate anyone associated with us (as defined in the Act) who deliberately and dishonestly facilitates the criminal evasion of tax by a third party. Any employee who is suspected to have facilitated tax evasion will be subject to our disciplinary procedures and reported to the relevant authority.
It is our expectation that all those to which/whom we provide services, or which/who provide services to us will act with integrity and pay the appropriate amount of tax. We will not act for any entity or individual where we know or suspect that they are attempting to exploit or misuse our services for the purpose of tax evasion. Should we discover that any agent associated with us has attempted to, or succeeded in, facilitating tax evasion by a third party, we will cease to engage with them immediately, and report them to the relevant authority.
We have implemented a programme to counter the risk of anyone associated with us being involved in the facilitation of tax evasion, wherever we operate.
Any questions or concerns relating to this statement should be raised with the firm’s Compliance Officer for Legal Practice.
“I moved to Lincoln in September 2012 to attend university where I studied English Literature. I fell in love with the city and knew when I graduated in September 2015 I didn’t want to move back to my small Suffolk village. I applied to be a Legal Administrator in the Conveyancing Department at Home Property Lawyers and was lucky enough to be offered the job, which started only 10 days after my graduation. After being in the Admin team for 6 months I was promoted to Conveyancing Assistant where I was moulded by two experienced Senior Conveyancers over the course of just under two years, learning to be a Conveyancing Executive myself. In February 2018 I was promoted to Conveyancing Executive and I can honestly say there is no job quite like it… There is nothing better than making that call at the end of the process to confirm that we have completed and hearing the excitement in a clients voice. That’s the reason I do the job! Now in 2022 having been working at Home Property Lawyers for over six and a half years I have come full circle and am in the process of buying my first home In the city. This has given me a brand new insight into the process and I can absolutely sympathise with and appreciate the stresses involved in the process which I think has really helped me to be empathetic towards my clients and make the process as smooth as it can possibly be for them.”
