Prevent your property from being fraudulently sold or mortgaged

Something like this never even occurred to me. Thankfully we no longer own a property in the UK.

I would have thought it would be much more difficult to get a mortgage against a property anywhere than that. Land registry is checked & suchlike so is this genuinely a problem or just trying to frighten vulnerable people into something they don’t need. Also, why should one need to get a mortgage application alert for a property they do not own ??

I've used this service for quite a few years now - I get a regular email confirming no alerts against my registered properties. Also it's really useful to be able to keep a check on elderly relatives properties, making sure they aren't being conned, scammed etc. I know it works because when I was selling  a property I got an email alert the same day the buyers solicitor made a search on the property on the land registry.

....is this PropertyAlert website a genuine one run by the Government Land Registry? 
And does it generate 'spam' from other sources once you have given all your personal details.

Seems too good to be true...and for free??

Thanks

Seems like a great idea. Just done it for our parents' homes.

As this alert is from now, onwards, how can you check for suspicious activity prior to the alert setup? Anyone know?

If you buy the 'register' entry for 3 pound, it only gives owner name and mortgage company name. What about other charges or dodgy loans. Anyone?

Thanks
