How can I find out which houses are HOUSING ASSOCIATION ?

Certainly on all the new building sites in my area it is not far fetched regarding the solar panels.

The HA's stipulate that solar panels must be provided.

Speak to any of the large building companies and their main gripe is that they have to provide solar panels and also that they have to construct the properties to a higher specification than the houses they sell privately.

Not for free.
You can use :-https://www.landregistry.gov.uk/wps/portal/Property_Search
which will tell you who owns a particular property.
£4 a go.

Do the owners (or the address checked) get notification if someone has run a query with Land Registry?

I want to run a check but don't really want the owner to find out.

If you want to find out what an area is like, the best thing you can do is take a walk around it at different times, especially during the day,Friday and Saturday evenings.

I have bought properties in the past too quickly and found out to my cost, that what I thought was a nice area was anything but !

As for estate agents my own experience is not to trust them. They are usually paid on commission, so it is not in their interest to tell you that an area has unsavoury elements ! To those honest estate agents that do enlighten their clients I apologize.

In my own opinion it is the quality of the neighbours that helps to make an area great to live in.

On the new estates near our daughter HA houses have a parking places instead of garages that S/O and bought houses have.

One thing I will say is that actually it's an advantage being near social housing. Reason being that if there is anti social behaviour from their tenants, HAs will be proactive in trying to resolve it.

Doesn't happen where we are! We've got two blocks of 2-storey HA flats round the corner and no action is EVER taken by Two Castles HA unless we, the nearby owner-occupiers write masses of letters to Two Castles and copy in to local council etc.

That's true where we live actually, we have a drive and garage and the houses opposite don't. The funny thing is the fact that 90% of the houses are the same type make it quite hard to tell who is who, not that it matters!
