Where I live the houses are the first to be on this piece of land so how can I find out who owned it before it was built on please? |

Try the land registry search |

Sorry to butt in, but I'm wondering if you have to pay for the land registry search? |

Search fee is usually a small amount. |

Thanks JoyLouise and ZZzzz , I guess you are both right - it is rare to get something for nothing! :-) |

Before you spend money on a Land Registry search, do you know when the first houses were built? |

The Local Studies centre or records office may have maps of the time which may help. |

Maybe a local History Society too, ours has loads of that sort of information and maps |

If your house is built on the land in question, it might be on your Deeds :-) |

Thanks everyone, sometimes the answers stare me in the face but I just don't see them. :-) |

Anyone who has - or had - a mortgage will probably have had a copy of the 'Deeds' provided by their solicitor. But information therein is unlikely to include anything prior to when the land/property was was registered. |

My parents bought a new build bungalow in 1936. |

It may also be possible to find out more info from the LA valuer - they have never been ones to miss out collecting what’s due. I’ve seen them refer to aerial photographs in order to see who’s been adding what without a permit. |
