Mortgage Fraud Solicitors

Mortgage fraud is taken very seriously by regulatory bodies, and allegations of this nature can have long-term effects on your professional reputation, as well as your personal life. If you are accused of this crime, it is important you seek legal support as soon as possible to keep your rights preserved, and we can ensure you are innocent until proven guilty.

At Burton Copeland, our mortgage fraud lawyers have the expertise to help you through investigations that often involve complex financial transactions to help you build the best defence possible. You can get in touch by calling our Manchester office on 0161 827 9500, or by filling in our contact form to let us know you want us to get in touch.

What is mortgage fraud?

Whether it is through the omission or misrepresentation of information during a loan application, or securing a loan larger than is required, all types of mortgage fraud involve deception during a property transaction.

Investigations do not just involve the accused borrower, but can also include estate agents, surveyors, mortgage brokers, property developers, accountants, financial advisors and solicitors, who are questioned on the due diligence they could have taken to prevent this crime from happening.

How we handle mortgage fraud investigations

Proceedings often involve complicated paperwork trails, with key documents – which can affect the outcome of a case – sometimes missed by investigating officers. Our solicitors have many years of experience in handling sensitive data in the right way, so you have all the defence you need. We can also:

• Respond to requests and inquiries on your behalf
• Liase and negotiate with investigators
• Provide advice in interviews held under caution
• Represent you in court, if your case goes to trial
