Who owns derelict building?

[Dirty Stop Out]

Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong forum, but most people read this one.

Next to one of my properties is a double fronted block that has been sat empty for years and is a total eye-sore. I need to find out who holds the deeds so that I may put an offer in to buy it. I have put my feelers out but no-one wants to own up to owning the block, so who can I ask to get the info required?

Thanks for any help.

Log on to the Land Registry website..

Navigate to forms & publications...

Download form 'SIM' (Search of Index Map)

Fill in as much detail as possible ie postal address of property in question...

Enclose a cheque for £4 made payable to Land registry...

Send the completed form to your local LR office...

A few days later you will receive the info you require from the LR in the post.

Good Luck!

Yeah, you can use snail mail if you want.

Dirty Stop Out, I used the Land Registry website to find out the registered owner of a property just last week www.landregisteronline.gov.uk.

To find out the property's title register entry costs £2. I chose to download it straightaway. I have it saved on my hard disk now.

To look at the title plan and other documents will cost an additional £2, but that's a choice you make.

Alternatively, log on to http://www.landreg.gov.uk/, pay £2, and get the info you require 20 seconds later!
