randal_bond Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 Hi, forum. We pre-selected a few flats we would consider buying. We can't really ask our solicitor to check all of them without paying hefty bill. We went on opendata gov uk but it's not helpful. Any suggestions?

Richlist Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 Here are a few ideas for starters:- * Ask the selling agent. * Ask any local estate agent. * Ask the local council housing dept. * Ask your local councillor. If the development is fairly new and the properties are all basic 1 & 2 bed flats I think you can assume there is a very good chance that some will be council properties.

Carryon Regardless Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 Run the addresses through the Lang Registry site https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/land-registry You can search for the owner details for £3 per search.
