Property fraud is where fraudsters try to “steal” your property, most commonly by pretending to be you and selling or mortgaging your property without your knowledge.

In the last 5 years, HM Land Registry has prevented 205 fraudulent applications being registered, representing properties valued in excess of £123.3 million.
