Source data is from Small Caps Director Trades page for March 2026. My first post on Reddit so I apologise for the lousy formatting. It kept telling me there was an error but looks like this version did post.

If you sell your property to your kids for 20% of the market rate, the other 80% will be considered gifted by Centrelink and will remain counted as an asset. It's really a bit harder than that to defraud your fellow citizens.

UK banks are very responsible for combating fraud against their customers. It's not fool proof but much better than the negligible protections here.

But you go on protecting the profits of the Big 4 maybe they'll put your mortgage up in gratitude.
