Land Registry campaign for address/es to be kept up to date

The Land Registry is launching a campaign to encourage registered property owners to keep their address(es) for service up to date, in order for the LR to alert them to applications that may affect their ownership.

The campaign will particularly target owners who may be vulnerable to property fraud, including those whose LR registered address is not the address where they live, such as owners of buy to let properties, those in care or who live abroad. Owners will be invited to check that their details are current, apply for an address to be changed or request that additional addresses be entered in the register.

Katherine Bunting, Partner in Charge of the Property Department at Chattertons, said: "Solicitors have always supported any action or campaign to protect the interests of consumers and fight fraud of any kind. We are delighted that the Land Registry is running this campaign and we are keen to support this initiative. Any clients who want us to check their current address for service at the Land Registry or who would like help changing their service address at the LR should contact the conveyancing department at their local Chattertons office."
