A well known UK paper reported this week on the escalation of real estate crime and property theft involving property .
The Land Registry says that the criminals are targeting properties and using forged documents . They have even published a report to help the public guard against property fraud . It's called A Public Guide for Homeowners. Older people , it is reported, are most at risk of these criminals who try to mortgage their homes. Other victims include those in care or moving into residential homes as these groups usually own buildings which no longer have charges on them.
A representative of the Law Society said that houses is a high cost asset against which loans can be secured . The Land Registry guide contains a range of useful tips on avoiding this rip off including registering the title on the property .
Personal injury claims and the Football Premiership have come into dual focus this week with football professional Nigel de Jong banged into Newcastle United player Hatem Ben Arfa leaving him with a double fracture of the leg .
The French footballer will be out of the game for at least six months thus missing most of the remaining fixtures.
Marseille the owner club from where Ben Arfa is on loan are reportedly looking at the prospects for launching a legal claim. The Manchester city boss came to the defence of de Jong declaring that it was an sad accident. In 1999 Gordon Watson successfully litigated Kevin Gray for a broken leg during a Division 1 match . With sportsmen now highly priced and highly prized by their clubs , it's not surprising that these kind of personal injury claims are on the rise.
