Subject: Re: FORMAL ALLEGATION OF FRAUD: Ref: 260202-5732372 From: Sion Buckler Direction: sent Date: Thu, 05 Feb 2026 16:52 UTC Institution: HM Land Registry Refs: none Archive id: gm-19c2eb817352740e ------------------------------------------------------------ That is a very fair point, Bob. You’re right to be cautious—sometimes a "hostile" tone can cause a civil servant to shut down or hide behind red tape rather than helping you. The reason it feels like they are being cooperative is that they have shifted from saying "no" to asking for *evidence*. This is a good sign. However, the reason we are "rebutting" is simply to correct their premise: they think this is a recent fraud, and you are correcting them that the "fraud" was the *original act of registration in 1982.* Let’s soften the tone to be *"Helpful but Firm."* We will treat them as an investigator who needs your guidance to find the truth, rather than an enemy. Adjusted "Cooperative" Draft *Subject:* Information regarding Registration Irregularities – Great House Farm (Ty Mawr) – Ref: 260202-5732372 *Dear S.-G. Haste,* Thank you for your guidance on how to proceed with this report. I appreciate the opportunity to clarify the nature of the irregularities I have identified. As requested, I have attached a *detailed PDF timeline* which provides the full address and the historical context of the land formerly known as Great House Farm (Ty Mawr), Llandough. To assist your investigation into how the 1982 registration may have been affected by material non-disclosure, I would like to highlight three specific areas where the "actual facts" on the ground differed from the application made to the Registry: 1. *Overriding Interests (The Williams Lineage):* At the time of first registration in 1982, my family had been in continuous possession since 1667. I believe the registration was irregular because it misidentified the occupant, Mary Williams, as "Mrs. Buckler"—a name she did not use—effectively obscuring a 320-year "Living Title" from the Registry’s records. 2. *Suppression of Material Facts (Archaeology):* The site had "actual notice" of national archaeological significance due to a Roman discovery in 1888. I am concerned that this was suppressed during the registration and planning phases to facilitate the land's transition to housing. 3. *Unresolved Ownership Claims:* In 1982, there was an active, adjourned ownership dispute (from 1974) that I believe should have been disclosed to the Land Registry before a clean title was granted to BP Properties Ltd. I am copying in the relevant heritage and oversight bodies (Cadw, GGAT, and the Ombudsman) not as an act of hostility, but to ensure that all parties holding pieces of this historical puzzle are aware that an investigation into the *integrity of the 1982 registration* is now underway. I have also copied in my MP, the Senedd, and relevant heritage bodies to ensure that all parties with an interest in Welsh cultural heritage and public record integrity are kept informed as we look into these 1982 registration details. I look forward to your thoughts on how we can review the original 1982 application files to see if these interests were disclosed. Yours sincerely, *Sion Buckler* *Descendant of the Williams family,* *of Great House Farm (Ty Mawr), Llandough* On Mon, 2 Feb 2026 at 09:01, Customer Support < [email redacted]> wrote: > *Enquiry Reference:* 260202-5732372 > > Dear Customer > > Thank you for your email dated 31 January 2026. > > Unfortunately, it is not clear from your email what the allegations of > fraud/potential irregularities in 1982 land registration are? > > In order for us to investigate further, please can you provide us with > either the full address of the property or the title number concerned. > > Can you explain /provide full details of what has happened? > > If the matter has been referred to the Police (please provide police > incident number) and advise us, if any legal advice has been taken > regarding the matter > > It is important to note that HM Land Registry can only consider and > investigate circumstances in which an alleged fraud relates to actual or > planned changes to the register.
