Interesting article from the Beeb

Mee

I've been listening to the series from the beginning and I have to say it is an uncomfortable listen as there seemed to be little protection from organised criminals using bona vacantia as a scammer's directory.
However,  I've just check gov.uk and BV unclaimed estates list has been 'temporarily removed' as of 7/7/2025. I hope in response to the series.

Recommend everyone listens to the series:

Shadow World: the grave robbers

Well done, Sue Mitchell.
