Imagine if your home was stolen and sold on without your knowledge? Or if you brought a house and later found out it was stolen?

Yes, you have heard me correctly, we have all heard of criminals stealing cars and selling on, then innocent people ending up with finance and without a car. Well the criminals and fraudsters have now found a way to do this with peoples own homes.

I had never even heard of this happening before, until January 2011 when I found out that I infact had brought a stolen house.

Its a stressful situation to be in, buying a house in good faith, taking out a mortgage and then finding out afterwards that actually the house that you have brought is stolen.

This is a new and ever increasing fraud;

Since 2003 when the electronic title deed was available on-line this fraud has escalated since.
In 2004 – 2005 15 claims where made to the Land Registry for £491,656, now 2009 -2010 this has increased to 53 claims and claims totalling £4.9million.

With the backing of my local MP Chris Kelly and other MP’s around the country we are going to Parliament for more checks to be integrated into the conveyancing process for when someone sells their house. Since the electronic title deed was available in 2003 no extra precaution has been put into place for the conveyancing, THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE, to help prevent this fraud happening to other people.

Please sign the petition to show that you back this campaign.

Thank you
