Verified Businesses Only
TempBase operates a rigorous verification framework so that every business on the platform is legitimate, accountable, and compliant.
Short-term commercial property transactions involve real money, real contracts, and real legal obligations. TempBase will not allow unverified or unidentifiable businesses to participate. Our three-layer verification framework — Companies House, Anti-Money Laundering screening, and email confirmation — ensures the platform remains a trusted environment for everyone.
Companies House
Business verification via Companies House
TempBase integrates directly with Companies House to verify that every business operating on the platform is a legitimately registered UK entity. When you register as an agent or broker, your company registration number is checked against the Companies House register in real time.
This confirms that your business exists, is actively registered, and that the details you have provided match the official public record. Dissolved, struck-off, or unverifiable companies are not permitted to list properties or engage in negotiations on TempBase.
This check protects everyone on the platform — brands know they are dealing with real, accountable businesses, and agents know that the counterparties they engage with are equally verified.
AML
Anti-Money Laundering compliance
Commercial property transactions — even short-term lets — fall within the scope of Anti-Money Laundering regulations in the United Kingdom. TempBase takes its obligations under the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds Regulations 2017 seriously.
As part of our verification process, TempBase performs AML screening on businesses registering on the platform. This includes checks against sanctions lists, politically exposed persons (PEP) registers, and adverse media sources. Where required, enhanced due diligence is applied before a business is granted full platform access.
These checks are not a formality. They exist to ensure that TempBase cannot be used as a vehicle for financial crime, and to protect every legitimate user on the platform from exposure to bad actors.
Email verification
Every account on TempBase — regardless of role — must be verified via email before it can send offers, negotiate contracts, or communicate with other users. When you register, a verification link is sent to the address you provide. Your account remains restricted until that link is confirmed.
Email verification serves two purposes. First, it ensures that you have access to the inbox associated with your account, which is essential for receiving notifications, contracts, and important correspondence. Second, it prevents the creation of throwaway or fraudulent accounts that could disrupt legitimate activity on the platform.
If you do not receive your verification email, check your spam folder or contact us at info@tempbase.co.uk. Verification emails are sent immediately on registration and expire after 24 hours.
What verification means in practice
Verified on both sides
Agents, brokers, and customers all go through our verification process. Every party in a TempBase negotiation has been checked — so you can engage with confidence.
Your data is handled responsibly
Verification data is processed securely and in accordance with UK GDPR. We do not store sensitive business information beyond what is required to perform and record the check.
Fast and non-intrusive
For most businesses, verification is completed automatically within minutes. We have designed the process to be as frictionless as possible without compromising its integrity.
A record you can rely on
Once verified, your status is displayed on your account and visible to counterparties. It serves as a signal of legitimacy throughout every deal you conduct on the platform.
Regulatory compliance
TempBase operates in accordance with the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017, the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, and applicable FCA guidance on commercial property transactions. Our AML policies are reviewed regularly and updated to reflect changes in regulatory requirements. If you have questions about our compliance framework, contact us at info@tempbase.co.uk.
