You can protect the title as well - think it costs £30. We just did this when we remortgaged.
Any changes to the title will include paperwork being sent to the address in question for confirmation. Or something like that.
It sounded worthwhile considering the alternative is the 14day thing where you need to be fortunate to notice anything dodgy going on! Madness that’s the default.

Bit confused by this statement:
"You will recall that the Proprietorship Register also records your address for correspondence for the Land Registry. It is essential that this register is kept up to date because if anyone tries to register any claim or interest against the property, the Land Registry will first serve notice on these addresses giving a period of 14 days within which to object. If no objection is received the Land Registry would be likely to register the claim which may not then come to light until you come to sell or re-mortgage the Property.
You must remember to notify the Land Registry of any change of address in the future.
Another way to protect yourself against Property Fraud is to register with the Land Registry Property Alert system. This is free and can be done via their website: https://propertyalert.landregistry.gov.uk/ . Once you have signed up to the service, you will receive email alerts when certain activity occurs on your monitored properties, allowing you to take action if necessary.”
it from an email sent to us by solicitor who we have no desire to interact further with due to the trauma she caused.
google tells me how to change the name on a title but i can’t find a layman’s explanation of the Proprietorship Register apart from the there levels, do we need to do anything?
we have a new copy of the Register of title.
