MOVING HOME - BEWARE OF CYBER FRAUD

MOVING HOME - BEWARE OF CYBER FRAUD

Take extra care when transferring funds when moving home

When moving home you have to transfer large sums of money. Cyber criminals are aware of this and they can replicate emails that look very similar to an email you would receive from your estate agent or solicitor asking for funds to be transferred.

We advise to read through the email carefully and make sure there aren't any irregularities. If you have any doubt call the company that sent you the email to confirm everything over the phone.

Any time you have to transfer funds we recommend you transfer an odd number of pence to the bank details you’re given then phone & 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤 to the recipient whose voice you know to check how much they've received.

Many Shepperton rental problems do not start with bad landlords or difficult tenants. In Shepperton, as in many towns and villages across the country, they usually start with good intentions and silence. Silence about rent reviews. Silence about maintenance. Silence about what happens when life changes.

After a subdued end to 2025, the first quarter of 2026 has quietly rebuilt confidence in the housing market. March may be the strategic launch point sellers have been waiting for.

Not every home that goes on the market ends up sold but knowing the reasons why can be the difference between “listed” and “sold”.

The Government has announced a major overhaul of the leasehold system, including a cap on ground rents of £250 a year for homeowners in England, as part of a package of reforms aimed at reducing housing costs and strengthening homeownership.
