Lorraine and Stu could not resist the topic of the week in this Conveyancing Matters chat – the all too familiar story of the vicar who lost his house.

The story of the Luton vicar who returned to his house to find that it had been sold by a fraudster has been widely reported in the national media.

As Peter Dodge, who appeared in the Court of Appeal for Mishcon de Reya said:  ‘Dreamvar is back in the news’

Stu and Lorraine discuss the steps that conveyancers should be taking to mitigate the risk of seller fraud and give some useful hints and tips for practitioners.

They also mention Rob Hailstone from BOLD Legal – he has a red flags checklist which must be an essential document for all conveyancers.

Remember, this is just a chat and our opinions, not advice!
