Land Registry Property Alert Service
Be property smart – protect your property against fraud by taking advantage of this free service and be one step ahead of the scammers.
Register your Property
It is recommended that you register your property with the Land Registry Anti-Fraud Property Alert Service to help combat property fraud.
If there is an enquiry about your property you will be notified by email.
There is no cost for this.
The HM Land Registry’s Property Alert Service is a free tool designed to help property owners safeguard their homes and land from fraud. It provides email notifications whenever significant activity occurs on a monitored property, allowing you to act quickly if suspicious actions are detected.
Why Is Property Fraud a Concern?
Property fraud occurs when criminals attempt to sell or mortgage your property without your knowledge. This is particularly common for:
- Properties without a mortgage.
- Rental properties or those owned by absent landlords.
- Empty properties or homes where the owner lives abroad.
How Does the Property Alert Service Work?
The service notifies you via email when certain activities are recorded against a monitored property. These activities include:
- Applications to change the register (e.g., a new mortgage or ownership transfer).
- Notifications of pending applications.
While the service does not prevent fraud, it acts as an early warning system, empowering you to take swift action if needed.
