Property blacklisted?

We are first time buyers and have had an offer accepted on a flat that has been, in part, repossessed. Review of the Land Registry leads us to suspect that the debts of the owner have been consolidated and now managed by one company.
We are concerned that there will be debts associated with the property, but is there a way of finding out?
And if there are debts and assuming they are cleared with the sale of the property, how should we proceed so that our ability to gain credit is not affected?
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated

Debts now follow the person, not the address. You may still have to deal with creditors and baillifs contacting you thought, so it would be useful if you could make sure you can provide them with evidence that you are not who they are looking for and have no association with the previous occupants.0
