Just out of interest how likely is it you need to protect your property this way? :confused:

they need this on the west bank

Does anyone know why the same flat would be on the register three times? (Once as a freehold and twice as a leasehold). It's a new build flat bought from new.

Thanks OP
Does anyone know,
How do I change my Contact address?
How do I change the Contact address I entered at the time of registering. When I log in I can see how to change the password, and I have read on this F&Q I can't change a registered email address. I just want to change my contact address not email. Is the response the same I will have to create a new account with new contact address.

If I can't change the current contact details and it remains in the database, and I register with new contact address does it mean any updates will be sent to the all registered contact addresses. Or can I delete the 1st or any accounts not needed to remain in the database.

I have emailed them and am awaiting their response as well...
***UPDATE****
OK Just had a response from the team hope it helps some one

Good afternoon,
Thank you for your enquiry.
As property alert is an online service, we would never contact you by post using the contact address that you provided therefore it is unecessary to update the address. The address details are only taken for audit purposes.
Kind regards,

Can someone register the Falklands just incase

working again.

Sounds great, thanks OP

I think you mean a search called an Official Search or an OS1. The OS1 won't reveal the amount of the charge, this information isn't inputted into the Land Registry website.

when i bought mine i was notified a week before completion by the alert stating a search by the solicitors of the intended charge and how much and what building society

The Land Registry would only be able to notify you once the buyer's solicitor submits the transfer (TR1). Registration can take a couple of days, weeks even months so you would be notified before any change to your title had occurred, giving you sufficient time to call the Land Registry to report the fraud.

This doesn't happen anymore. Once we receive the monies for a sale it's transferred straight to the client on the day of completion or up the chain if the clients are buying on.

haha

Pppffffttttt not available in Bonny Scotland.

Indeed, not for Scotland (does it apply to Northern Ireland?)

Needs to be edited to says that it isn't for properties in Scotland.

Properties in Scotland are registered in the Land Register of Scotland with a government organisation called the Registers of Scotland.

Been a while since I sold a property, but I remember back in the day the money was "held" for a week after the sale (sold 3 properties years ago and all 3 were subject to hold). Not sure if this still happens?

Cold, I will have to sell five of my properties to qualify for this for free..

Well I cant say about the normal searches as I put it through auction and was it gone within 2hrs of 1st viewing great offer taken. So only the transfer shown for me but it works.

All sorted now - I'm now able to register my property. If anyone else was having problems it's worth trying again now.

they need this on the west bank

Not that this will apply to most people, but I live in a flat and like most address-based systems it doesn't deal well with those. I get alerts regularly (on average at least monthly) for "X House" where I live, but it could be related to any of the 20+ flats within "X House", so obviously I still wouldn't know if there was fraud related to my property without spending time digging deeper.

I had my old house on here and day after I sold it in Oct I got a email saying there was a change to my title. So it works.

No use to me,as can't afford £500k for house in London.:disappointed:
Useful for those living in Blackpool or Newcastle.:smiley:

It might also be handy to see if developers are eyeing you up...

They also do https://propertyalert.landregistry.gov.uk/ which is similar.

Property Alert is an award winning free property monitoring service aimed at anyone who feels a registered property could be at risk from fraud.

Once you have signed up to the service, you will receive email alerts when certain activity occurs on your monitored properties, allowing you to take action if necessary.

site errors on my property.... but useful. Thanks.

can't seem to do it for free where do I look please

I didn't know about this. Thanks
