Land Charge Numbers and Court Reference Numbers

DARYALS

PLEASE HELP! I'm thinking of buying a derelict house and after a quick search on the Land Registry it turns out the owner has been declared bankcrupt. However, there are two things which puzzle me, mainly :-

1. Can I gain access to the local High Court records and find out why this guy got declared bankrupt?

2. How do I do this?
3. What is a Land Charge Reference, and again can I access records to find out any relevant information?

Thanks

Tto find out the court dealing with the individual and you can contact the office to find out how to proceed. Either the bankruptcy is recent or something is odd as I thought bankrupts can't own property.

I am not in anyway a legal expert in any way. Perhaps the official receiver appointed to deal with the bankruptcy case has answers and authority to deal with a potential sale. I could be entirely wrong.
It is often a good idea to mention the country of the legal authorities in question. For example Scotland, Northern Ireland or Wales. If I have left you out then I appologise in advance.
