Real Estate / Property

The property sector has always been especially vulnerable to fraud. The large sums of money involved in property transactions make the sector particularly appealing to questionable business deals and criminals. Failing to deal with fraud can lead to dire consequences in terms of loss as well as punishments ranging from fines to imprisonment for individuals and organisations.

Fighting Property fraud

Real Estate has often been targeted for fraud. Issues that impact on residential sales including fraud arising from impersonation to cybercrime such as authorised push payment fraud. Issues affecting commercial property range from bribery, misrepresentation, money laundering with a variety of frauds such as off-plan investment schemes or sale and leaseback schemes. Understanding these risks and the responses needed is vital.

If you discover you are a victim of fraud in the property sector either as an individual, business or professional advisor, there are routes to recovery that can be explored.

Tenet is well placed to advise businesses and professional service providers in the sector on fraud prevention measures. Seeking specialist advice quickly is key to achieving a positive outcome. In addition to fraud prevention, Tenet has expertise in seeking recovery following a property fraud such as an authorised push payment fraud.
