Fraudsters try to steal an owner's home

Sounds like a good idea to me - ie for MSE to do an article specifically on this. Coming under both headings of registered and unregistered properties.
After all - for most of us - our house is our single biggest asset.0 -
I'd just like to thank you for this information, I have registered four properties for alerts - elderly relatives who are not interested in 'on line and computers' which would make them easy prey. Thanks again for all the information folks, it is much appreciated.0

Unless you can find an example of someone successfully carrying out a fraud involving an unregistered property which they couldn't even provide access to, never mind any deeds, I don't think this is a scenario worth worrying about too much.
This didn't come from me - as I said, it comes from the government's own website on property fraud. No idea how it would work.0
