Common Questions About Mortgage Fraud
What is mortgage fraud?
Mortgage fraud involves fraudulently obtaining a loan secured on a property. This typically involves providing false information to the lender, such as misrepresenting income or employment details, giving a false property valuation, misleading the lender about the property’s occupancy, or failing to disclose other financial liabilities (including other mortgages).
Significant mortgage fraud investigations may target not only the property purchaser but also professionals involved in the transaction, such as Solicitors, Accountants, Financial Advisors, Mortgage Brokers, and Estate Agents. Regardless of your connection to the alleged fraud, our expert Criminal Defence Solicitors will provide the best advice and representation.
How do we defend mortgage fraud allegations?
The Serious Fraud Office (SFO), Police, or Specialist Fraud Division of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) often review mortgage applications in fraud cases to identify errors, leading to fraud charges. Our Mortgage Fraud Solicitors investigate your mortgage lending contract and its criteria, often demonstrating that the mortgage would have been approved despite any mistakes on the application.
What are the penalties for mortgage fraud?
Mortgage fraud is a serious offence with severe penalties, including repayment of the loan, substantial fines, and potential custodial sentences for significant fraud cases (such as involvement in organised mortgage fraud schemes).
A conviction results in a criminal record and likely disqualification from obtaining a mortgage or other loans in the future.
We understand the fear and stress these penalties cause you and your family, potentially including the loss of your home. Our Fraud Solicitors have deep knowledge of the operations of the SFO, Police, and Specialist Fraud Division of the CPS. We will robustly represent you in any interviews under caution and quickly identify weaknesses in the Prosecution’s case.
