There is a lot of talk in the press about the growing threat of cybercrime and there is a new digital crime emerging, property fraud.
We wanted therefore to share details of a new digital anti-fraud property and identity monitoring tool which is being offered from a company called Title Guardian. We are confident in introducing them to you as a trusted third-party provider.
What is title fraud and how may it affect homeowners and landlords?
It is a digital crime that could result in a homeowner’s property being stolen when a fraudster changes a homeowner’s title deeds without their knowledge. Unauthorised tenant activities such as unapproved sub-letting and registering companies at rental addresses are also on the increase.
The Title Guardian product can help add an extra layer of protection to keep your property safe from the risk of such fraud. Their 24/7 service for homeowners and landlords across England and Wales monitors thousands of digital sources for signs of suspicious activity relating to both an owner’s identity as well as their associated property details offering. In the event of any suspicious activity, you’ll be instantly notified.
