Landlords can sign up for free property alerts
If you are a property owner, you should make sure that you are actively protecting yourself, your property, and your land from fraud.
Though it is not as common as other types of fraudulent activity, the Land Registry has prevented over £100 million in property fraud in the last 5 years.
To help property owners in England and Wales, especially landlords with multiple properties, the Land Registry has a free service called Property Alert.
Landlords may not be aware that they can sign up to receive notifications whenever changes are made to a property’s register, such as a new mortgage application.
