What if a landlord wasn’t a landlord at all? In this episode I speak with London agents Puja Mehra and Vijay Vashistha about a shocking fraud where a tenant posed as a landlord and nearly pocketed £500,000 in rent. They explain how red flags, including a manipulated Land Registry document, exposed the scam. We discuss how tenants were convinced to pay a year’s rent upfront with a discount, how multiple victims were targeted, and why strong compliance and due diligence are essential for agents today.
