Land Registry has pulled potentially sensitive documents from its online service
As from midnight on 5 November 2007, online access to documents such as mortgage deeds and leases will be removed. Members of the public wishing to inspect or have copies of any such documents can do so by applying in writing to Land Registry.
The move followed a report in The Daily Mail that criminal gangs have stolen £12m over the past two years by exploiting loopholes in the website. They gained access to documents such as title deeds to make it possible to sell properties they did not own.
