The worry is ID theft for anyone who has ever used conveyancers in this group

I’m not sure that my tablet has enough storage space for all the cookies that’d be loaded if I clicked accept there. Take a look at the “Site Vendors” tab!

I right-clicked it and used an "Incognito" window, which I understand jettisons all the cookies when you close it.

Bearing in mind the sums of money involved and all the copies of passports/deeds et al floating around to complete the transactions, I'd suggest anyone buying or selling these days insist that their chain (EA/solicitors) at the very least used encrypted email. It's easy to add on extensions like Mailvelope to work with Outlook.com/Gmail or domain mail with hosts that use Roundcube.

Is it worth registering with CIFAS because of this?
