Bowline Properties is a member of a government-approved property redress scheme. Membership provides investors and vendors with an independent route to escalate any complaint that cannot be resolved directly with us.
The PRS exists to protect consumers dealing with property agents and sourcers. Membership is a legal requirement for property agency work in the UK.
As a business dealing in property, Bowline is registered with HMRC for supervision under the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds Regulations. We carry out documented client due diligence and source-of-funds checks on every acquisition.
AML registration is a legal obligation for UK property sourcers. Any sourcer who cannot produce their HMRC supervision reference should be treated with caution.
Bowline is registered with the Information Commissioner's Office as a data controller. All personal information is processed under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, and retained only for the periods set out in our Privacy Policy.

View our Privacy PolicyBowline holds professional indemnity insurance appropriate to a UK property sourcing business. This cover protects our clients in the event of a claim arising from the professional services we provide.
A summary of our current cover and policy limits is available on request as part of our investor compliance pack.
Request cover detailsProperty deal sourcing in the UK is not directly regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. There is no single licence to hold and no compulsory qualification to obtain. That leaves investors exposed to sourcers who operate without redress cover, without AML supervision, without professional indemnity and without any real accountability if a deal goes wrong.
Bowline treats the voluntary standards as the minimum bar, not the ceiling. PRS membership gives clients an independent complaints route. HMRC AML supervision keeps illicit money out of the transaction. ICO registration protects personal data. PI insurance stands behind the professional service.
Before working with any sourcer, verify all four registrations , PRS membership, HMRC AML supervision, ICO data protection registration, and professional indemnity insurance. If any of the four is missing, walk away.
Nothing on this website, in any deal pack, or in any communication from Bowline constitutes financial, investment, tax or legal advice. We are a property sourcing business, you should always take independent professional advice before committing capital.
Any purchase price, refurbishment cost, end value, rental figure or projected return shown by Bowline is illustrative and based on comparable evidence and reasonable assumptions at the time of analysis. Actual outcomes vary with market conditions, financing, void periods and build costs.
Every investor is responsible for their own due diligence, financing arrangements, tax structuring and legal completion. Bowline provides sourcing, analysis and acquisition management, we do not act as your solicitor, accountant, mortgage broker or financial adviser.
In line with our HMRC supervision, all investors are asked to complete identity verification and source-of-funds checks before an acquisition proceeds. This is a legal requirement and protects all parties to the transaction.
