Be warned of dodgy activity on your property records

Posted on by

An interesting extract from a recent Neighbourhood Watch notification:

… some doorstep fraudsters are attempting to get elderly residents to sign their property over to them.

Did you know that the Land Registry provides a FREE alert service to give you an immediate email alert if official searches and applications are received against a monitored property?  This can give early warning that identity theft is in play using your stolen details.  Identity theft can take place as a result of details taken from your unshredded recycling, or from a hacked online shopping site where you hold an account, for example.

Full details and how to sign up can be found at the Land Registry website here:

Land Registry Property Alerts

You could also consider signing up for a Land Registry alert for the property of an elderly relative.

Each year the council must consider and agree a balanced budget for its services and the amount of local council tax to be raised from residents and businesses, to help fund this budget.
In considering its options for 2022/23, the Council is keen to hear the views of residents and local businesses on its budget proposals.
