Can my house be taken in a Proceeds of Crime case (POCA)?

When most people think of the UK Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA), they think of criminals being stripped of their ill-gotten gains. To an extent, this is accurate. However, one of the lesser-known aspects of POCA is that it can be used to confiscate the property of any individual who has benefited from criminal activity, no matter how they are actually connected to the crime. Concerningly for many, these actions can include taking someone’s house as part of a proceeds of crime case. If you are subject to a proceeds of crime confiscation and are concerned about what property can and cannot be taken, we’re here to help. In this article, we will explore how house confiscation works under the POCA and whether or not your other property could be seized.

How does proceeds of crime work?

‘Proceeds of crime’ may refer to the actual proceeds of crime, i.e. the things that were gained as a result of criminal behaviour (money, cars, jewellery, etc.) or it may relate to the broad process by which those proceeds are confiscated by the police.

The Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) is a piece of UK legislation that was introduced in 2002 with the goal of confiscating the proceeds of crime and deterring people from engaging in criminal activity. POCA allows for the seizure of assets including cash, property, and vehicles. The UK government has wide-ranging powers under POCA to investigate suspected criminals and to seize assets that are believed to be the proceeds of crime.

If you are subject to POCA proceedings, you may find yourself subject to asset confiscation.

What is asset confiscation?

Asset confiscation is the process of seizing assets that are believed to have been obtained through criminal activity. In the UK, there are two types of asset confiscation: civil forfeiture and criminal forfeiture.

• Civil forfeiture. This is when the UK government seizes assets from an individual without having to prove that they are guilty of a crime. The UK government can take action under civil forfeiture if it has reasonable grounds to believe that the property was obtained from criminal activity, even if they have not been convicted of a crime.
• Criminal forfeiture. This is when the UK government seizes assets from an individual who has been convicted of a crime. The UK government must prove that the assets were obtained through criminal activity in order for them to be seized under criminal forfeiture.

In a confiscation, it is common for large amounts of cash to be seized because most criminals will try to ‘clean’ the property obtained through crime to make it look like an innocent benefit. For example, if a car was stolen, they might sell it to a third party cheaply and then take the legitimate cash in its place. Other property may still be seized during the confiscation process, however. Any item with a value of over £1,000 may be subject to confiscation, including luxury clothes, jewellery, watches, collectibles, and artwork.

What happens if you can’t pay POCA?

If you are ordered to pay POCA but you cannot afford to do so, there are a couple of options available to you.

The UK government may allow you to pay the money over a period of time, or they may agree to take other assets instead of cash.

Similarly, a court may be able to extend the time you have to repay a POCA amount by six months, but only if you can show exceptional circumstances as to why you require this time.

If you are still unable to pay via either of these options, the UK government can take action to seize your property, including your house, car, and other valuable assets.

What can and can’t POCA take?

The most common question criminal defence solicitors receive when working on POCA cases is ‘What can and can’t POCA take?’ It is natural for you to worry about this because your legitimately acquired assets can be subject to POCA confiscation just as any illegitimately gained ones can.

Generally speaking, any ‘available asset’ can be confiscated and sold to raise funds equivalent to the amount determined to have been acquired as proceeds of crime. This amount may be small, or it may go into the multiple millions.

Can POCA take inheritance?

Inheritance money is not automatically exempt from POCA just because it originally came from someone else. Indeed, Section 22 of the POCA permits inheritance – just like any other cash savings, stocks, bonds, and other financial assets – to be confiscated in partial or full realisation of the original benefit figure.

The government does not necessarily care where the monies have come from as long as the original amount believed to be obtained as the proceeds of crime is met.

Can POCA take your house?

Your house can be seized as part of a proceeds of crime case if the government believes that it was obtained through criminal activity (such as if you forced someone to transfer the house into your name by threat of violence). Likewise, the house can be seized if it was purchased with money believed to be obtained through criminal activity. In order to confiscate your house, the UK government must first obtain an order from a court. Once the order is obtained, the UK government can take action to seize your property.

The rationale is the same here: the government will try to take any valuable asset to reach the proceeds of crime benefit amount.

Can POCA take your car?

The short answer is ‘yes, POCA can take your car.’ Like with other asset confiscations, the government is concerned about retrieving the value of the proceeds of crime, and if it needs to confiscate a car in order to raise those funds, it will do so.

Can POCA take joint property?

Any joint property may be confiscated by the authorities if it can be proven that the property was obtained through criminal activity. If it cannot, and only one partner was involved in the procurement of the illegal benefit, then there is still a chance that joint property can be seized. In some circumstances, the courts will recognise that an innocent partner has an interest in the property, and accordingly their share will not be confiscated, but that does not stop the authorities from seizing the property and forcing its sale. If the partner knew about the criminal activity, the courts may force them to forfeit their rights to the property anyway.

What do the police do with seized property?

It can be difficult to find out exactly what happens to property once the police seize it. In the first instance, they keep it to be used as evidence. When proceedings are over, the property may be sold.

When valuable items are sold, the monies raised are usually split 50:50 between the police and the Home Office. These monies are, therefore, used to fund other law enforcement and public safety initiatives, such as crime prevention. Money may also be used to fund community programmes locally or nationally.

If you have had your property seized by the police, you may be able to get it back if you can prove that it was not obtained through criminal activity. You will need to make an application to the court and provide evidence to support your claim. Ask your solicitor for advice on how to navigate this process.

Does POCA last forever?

No, POCA does not last forever. The UK government can only take action to confiscate assets for a period of six years after the date on which the criminal activity took place. Once POCA has been initiated, you typically have to repay any proceeds of crime or an amount equivalent thereto within 3 months, but the court could extend this up to 12 months if required.

Can you appeal a POCA decision?

Yes, you can appeal a POCA decision if you believe that the UK government has made a mistake. To do so, talk to a qualified criminal defence solicitor who specialises in POCA proceedings. Note, however, that judicial discretion (i.e. the whim of the judges) reigns supreme in this arena, so it can be very difficult to get a POCA case overturned or dismissed without compelling evidence.

When you have to look for a solicitor it’s usually because you’ve found yourself in less than pleasant circumstances. That was absolutely the case for me when I reached out to Stuart Miller Solicitors.I was dealing with a matter that had transpired over two years ago and was receiving repetitive communications and misdirections from police. However, that all ended when I was represented by Stuart Miller Solicitors.They were so helpful at every stage, but especially Scarlett Rowe, who simply was exceptional.Scarlett went above and beyond what I sense my case even required. She submitted disclosures and communications to CPS in a manner and at junctures where it would be most impactful and therefore critical to a good outcome. And that’s exactly what I got—nothing short of a good outcome.

Firstly I would like to say thank you to everyone who was involved in my case here at Stuart miller solicitors, especially Mr Zeb And Nick James both have put in the hard work and efforts to try and give the best results in my case and quite frankly I was happy with the results.Mr Zeb was my real hero very caring and helpful throughout the case making sure I was not let down and stressed I would most definitely be using Stuart miller solicitors for my future casesThanks a million

I’d like to thank the team and especially Anna Sidgwick, on securing the acquittal for my son at Isleworth Crown Court.In what was a traumatic and emotional experience Anna was always on hand to support us.Effectively bridging the gap with our son who was in custody.Her diligence and commitment allowed what was a troubled experience, bearable.Very professional and diligent.Much appreciated.

What can I say! When no one else would listen to me or give me the benefit of the doubt in a completely nonsensical case, Mohammed Zeb and Nick James were my knights in shining armor. Mohammed Zeb believed in my innocence, and Nick, along with the rest of the Stuart Miller team, upheld my integrity while tirelessly fighting my case day and night. Their commitment, dedication, and unwavering support were crucial when everyone else thought I was headed for a prison sentence. After three and a half years, when the Crown finally brought us to trial, they not only won but did so unanimously.We all see shows like "Suits" and "Better Call Saul," but if you want to get your life back, there's only one place for all criminal cases: Stuart Miller. They particularly excel at police custody representation. When you're in a tough situation, there's only one team you need—Stuart Miller. Thank you all for giving me my life back!

Amazing lawyer firm. After being represented by Amirah K. we were able to have our case dropped within 5 months when original estimates had been 2 years!! Most firms said they would do nothing and that we should just do legal aid. Stuart Miller said “No” and instead seeked to represent us, they chased the OIC and went far and beyond.If you need a lawyer, don’t waste time on these other smaller firms that promise nothing but scary maybes and demand thousands in return. Go with Stuart Miller, it’ll be the best decision you ever made.

We found this place on the last minute and we did not expect that the problem will be resolved.Was a complicated matter and we wouldn’t trust to everyone but Abu Kibla with his professional experience made it so calm and easy for us. We cannot thank him enough for being able to resolve our case with the best outcome ever. We will definitely recommend Abu to any friends or relatives. Once again thank you for the bottom of the heart.

I have unfortunately found myself in a position to be needing legal advice and representation in court. This company has been professional and efficient from start to finish. Excellent communication and advice from Kelly and representation from Robert in court. They were both amazing and explained every step of the process and calmed me down and also managed to get the unfounded charges dropped. I can’t recommend them enough. They absolutely take your case personally and try their hardest for you every step of the way.

Your level of expertise and your knowledge of law, are priceless and of course you are a real force to be reckoned with!! Kibla thank you I know I have not been easy at times to deal with but you kept your cool and professional conduct throughout you and Zeb have gone beyond what your duties were with my son cases, I will forever be grateful for your unwavering support in all matters.Savanna words are not enough for you, for your commitment your dedication and hard work youput in is unmeasurable you guys are the best lawyers in london, because you made me feel like my son case mattered and you thought hard to get him the best outcome , with multi counts of A class drug charges knife and handing stolen goodAnd second strike I thought it was game over For my son, he really was looking at many years in prison.Not so with all your expertise and drive and hard work the end result was excellent 4half years to serve half with mitigation this meant he will serve a small amount of time.This was truly a massive shock to me and an excellent result.I cannot recommend Stuert Miller enough these guys are truly worth their weight in law.I wish you guys every success in your firm you truly deserve itYour forever gratefulSouad ghailan

Thank you so much to Mohammed Zeb And Sophie. We was supported in all steps along the way of my little sister’s case. They made us extremely comfortable and sufficiently advised us in every aspect. All of our questions were answered in detail and all information we needed was clearly outlined to us. With the prosecution pushing for jail time, Mr Zeb was able to quickly diffuse the situation in court and get an outcome for us that was much less detrimental. We are so happy that we chose to go with this firm and would recommend Stuart Miller to any and everyone. Thank you again to Mr Zeb and Sophie for all your support, we will never forget it.

Ayesha Akbar

20:24 06 Mar 24

We had an issue with the police raising an incorrect safeguarding issue against our daughter because we used a Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) which they disagreed with (wet cupping therapy). The police wanted us to sign a community resolution order admitting that we assaulted our child! We spoke to Mohammed Zeb who swiftly acted to contact experts in our field and his field, along with experts in social services matters and gave us recommendations to challenge the police. Their weak case quickly dissolved into no further action when the police realised that we would not accept a resolution order claiming we assaulted our child.I would strongly recommend Mr Zeb to all and would use nobody but them in the future.

Stuart Millers were great at dealing with a tricky case and managed to get a great outcome. From the first meeting and hearing, Abu Kibla was friendly, knowledgable and very helpful and you can see a genuine care for his clients. Luke Collins did the day to day and was great at preparing clear written representations and dealing with the CPS. Kathleen Joyce attended the final hearing and despite a last minute time change by the court the day before, she was well prepared, presented the case and mitigation arguments perfectly and was very reassuring and comforting throughout the whole day. Professional, responsive and reasonable fees. Would definitely recommend the firm.

Unfortunately I got myself into abit of trouble and didn't have a solicitor at the time. When I was in the police station I was asked if I wanted a solicitor and I said yes and I was then put in a cell till I was interviewed. Officer come to my cell to take me to my interview and asked if I wanted to consult with my solicitor I said yes, when we got to the Consultation room Mr Zeb was waiting for me and he ensured me that everything was going to be okay and this case will be solved with no problems at all and he was right I got NFA and the case was dropped that's all thanks to Mr Zeb he was very professional in this field and was intouch with me and kept me updated with everything that was going on. I will definitely use this firm again in future.

Words can not do justice to Stuart Miller Solicitors. I am forever grateful to Mohammad Zeb and Savannah who came to me like angels along with their appointed barrister Harry Mcdonald when my son was on trial. With my son having three charges against him along with joint enterprise which included affray and violent disorder. They took the case on and from the very 1st day kept me updated with the progress and supported me throughout the case. With my son in remand and a serious injury to his face they kept him motivated and in the right frame of mind with video links. Also they were available to him even on weekends if he had any questions. Their guidance and professionalism was absolutely outstanding. Savannah was superb throughout this case. Her approach to everything made it easy for me and my family. The barrister Harry took the case on at short notice and what a outstanding approach he had. Being in court for the 1st time for my son he represented my son superbly. After arguing his defence for my son for 7 gruelling days my son was found not guilty of all charges. I can not praise Stuart Miller enough. A must go to firm if you are in a unfortunate situation and need legal help. Wish Mohammad Zeb, Savannah, Harry Mcdonald and everyone at Stuart Miller the very best for the future. A very big thank you from me and my family.

Unfortunately got myself in a situation where I needed legal representation. My solicitor was great, but attention needs to be drawn especially to Amirah. She well and truly went over and beyond what most people would do, to help me resolve the situation. Nothing was ever too much, in fact it was her who pushed things further than I'd have even asked her to, she really does care about not just her occupation, but the people she helps. Cannot say enough good things about her... not just good legal representation, but an actual lovely person who genuinely cares, and you don't get that very often anymore. So, thank you to Stuart Miller Solicitors in Wood Green, but definitely, more importantly, to Amirah.

Jake Elliott

11:46 02 Aug 23

Abu Kibla represented me for my second drink driving offence, and not only that I had no license or insurance. Perhaps I am exposing myself saying that but you need the context as Kibla managed to get my ban reduced from 3 years to 2.5, and only a 200 pound fine. Aside from being very professional at what he does, he's also a good guy, who has your back. He explained my situation to the judge in a clear way I wouldn't have been able to. Don't hesitate!

20:05 01 Aug 23

I would like to thank everyone at Stuart miller especially to Kibla for their excellent work. At a time when things were very hard for me they helped me win my case. I hoped for total support from Stuart Miller when I instructed them, I got so much more. I would highly recommend Stuart Miller to anyone seeking for a reliable legal team. Many thanks again for everything, you were brilliant.
