Warning over property fraud
Blackpool Gazette
|October 24, 2025
People losing life-changing sums to scams during home sales
-
A campaign warning of criminals posing as solicitors, estate agents or buyers to divert payments during home sales has been launched, with victims of this crime typically losing more than £80,000.
Payment diversion fraud during property sales involves criminals intercepting and redirecting legitimate funds used in home purchases.
The aim is to manipulate victims into transferring house deposit funds and/or balance of purchase funds to fraudsters instead of their legitimate destination.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) and The Law Society have launched the joint campaign aimed at solicitors and conveyancers.
It is being delivered with the Home Office’s Stop! Think Fraud campaign.
