Protect your property from Fraudsters - 19/02/2010
The Land Registry has launched a campaign to help homeowners protect their property from fraudsters. It is known that fraudsters target properties which are free of mortgage, or where the owner lives elsewhere. Typically, a fraudster will transfer ownership of a property to themselves by using a forged document, or by impersonating the owner. One way to stop this is for homeowners to ensure that their contact details at the Land Registry are up-to-date. It is possible to include up to three addresses on the Land Register and this can include an email address and your solicitor’s address. This can offer further protection.
If you would like to look into this further, there is some information on the Land Registry website, or otherwise you can contact us.
