BEWARE...

Oct 17, 2022

Unfortunately, criminals actively target property purchases due to the high amount of funds involved. Their aim is to trick you into transferring your house deposit and/or the balance of purchase monies to them instead.

These schemes can be highly sophisticated, and almost always involve the criminals pretending to be your lawyer in order to con you into sending your payment to an account that they control.

Lawyers and their clients can all play a part in making such crimes more difficult for the criminals by being vigilant.
