LawDeb is approved by Companies House to act as verifier for the Register of Overseas Entities. We deliver the service for clients who own or are planning to acquire property in the UK.
We have been working with international law firms and our own clients since the register went live in August 22. We offer an end to end managed service, providing you with Peace of Mind.
We support both initial registrations and annual renewals.
We will then confirm the cost and expected timelines and we can begin collecting the necessary information. If you need any help providing the required information, for example identifying beneficial owners or managing officers we can also assist with this.
LawDeb will undertake the validation checks required on the documentation and information you have supplied.
We will verify both the overseas entity and any beneficial owners, ensuring all requirements are met.
As a UK regulated agent LawDeb can carry out the verification; submitting details to Companies House and handling objections until completion.
Following the same process as verification we will manage the annual Companies House update and the re-verification process.
