The HMLR Property Alert service has been designed to help protect properties from fraud. On signing up to this free service, HMLR will send you an email alert each time there is significant activity on the property you are monitoring, such as if a new mortgage is taken out against it. The alert will tell you the type of activity (such as an application to change the register or a notification that an application may be due), who the applicant is, and the date and time it has been received. You can monitor your own property, a portfolio of properties or the property of a relative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For further details see https:\/\/propertyalert.landregistry.gov.uk\/<\/a> In addition, helpful guidance on protecting your land and property from fraud is available on the website https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/protect-land-property-from-fraud<\/a>. In order to minimise the risk of property fraud, we recommend that you follow HMLR advice which requests that registered proprietors keep any addresses they have registered for service at HMLR up to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Following\u00a0the\u00a0Budget\u00a0on\u00a030\u00a0October\u00a02024,\u00a0several\u00a0changes\u00a0have\u00a0been\u00a0made\u00a0with\u00a0regard\u00a0to\u00a0how\u00a0stamp\u00a0duty\u00a0land\u00a0tax\u00a0is\u00a0calculated HM Land Registry Property Alert Service The HMLR Property Alert service has been designed to help protect properties from fraud.
