1. How Property Fraud Happens

Fraudsters often target empty, rented, or mortgage-free properties by forging ownership documents or fake IDs.
Because UK property details are publicly available through the Land Registry, criminals can easily access ownership names and even signatures to commit fraud.

2. How to Protect Your Property

Anti-Fraud Restriction

Register an Anti-Fraud Restriction with the Land Registry to prevent any changes to your property without your solicitor’s verified consent. This simple step helps block unauthorised transfers.

Property Alerts

Sign up for Land Registry alerts to receive an email whenever your property record changes. While it doesn’t stop changes, it ensures quick detection and action.

Prevention is key — legal recovery after fraud can be costly and time-consuming.

1. Right to Rent Checks

Under the Immigration Act 2014, landlords and agents must verify that all adult tenants have a legal Right to Rent in the UK.

Tenant Verification Process

Landlords/agents must:

• Check all adult tenants’ original ID documents in person.

• Keep dated copies of those documents.

• Repeat checks if visas or permits have expiry dates.

• Report anyone without valid Right to Rent to the Home Office.

Accepted Documents

EEA/Swiss citizens:

• Passport or national ID card

• UK driving licence with birth certificate

Other nationalities:

• Passport and valid visa or Biometric Residence Permit

If documentation isn’t provided before move-in, access to the property will be delayed.
For details, visit the Home Office website or contact Nexa Realty.

2. Proof of Ownership & ID Requirements

• One proof of identity, and

Under the Immigration Act 2014, all landlords and letting agents must verify that adult tenants have a legal Right to Rent in the UK before starting a tenancy.

How It Works

Prospective tenants must show their original identity documents (such as a passport, visa, or Biometric Residence Permit) in person to the landlord or agent. Copies are taken and recorded to confirm validity.

If a tenant’s right to rent is time-limited, follow-up checks are required before their visa or permit expires.

Acceptable Documents

• EEA/Swiss citizens: Passport or national ID card

• UK citizens: Passport or UK driving licence + birth certificate

• Other nationalities: Passport and valid visa or BRP

Failure to provide valid documents means tenants cannot move into the property until proof is shown.
