How can I find out who my neighbours are and if they own their property?

Choose to live in an overcrowded cesspit then this is the price you pay. If you don't want parking issues, don't live in London or any other major city except on the outskirts.

You are more likely to have parking issues if you live on the outskirts of cities due to commuters parking their cars there.

Some locations have more than enough parking per property because either houses have garages and people use them, some households have no cars or the properties have one car each plus some parking restrictions to deter commuters/school run parents. My last 2 places and current place in London falls into these categories.

So what? The issue is whether or not your lease gives you the right to park in the car park which is presumably private not public land. It seems clear that anyone who owns the property has purchased a legal right to park at least one car there. It's not clear whether the owner can assign that right to the tenant, or it may be that owners only have to right to park one vehicle in the car park, therefore only one tenant per property can use the at a time. This isn't a class issue despite what some of you would like to present it as, it's a straight contractual issue where OP feels that some of his neighbours are depriving him of a contractual right for which he has no doubt handsomely paid to park in the reserved space which accompanies his flat or house. It is effectively no different to someone deciding to park on your drive, and most reasonable people would regard that to be antisocial and unacceptable.

How on earth did you get that from the OP. All i could gather was there was a parking dispute reasons undisclosed and none of the 8 househol involved would admit to renting so the OP wanted to check.

I really did not see the bit where the OP said he couldn't park in his allocated space, that there was a shortage of spaces, some people parking more than one car or any of that.

Then the OP needs to find out who the owners are, get copies of their leases and then if the owners are in breach of the lease ie allowing their tenants to park, or if the tenants are parking illegally take them to court. Will keep some solicitor busy for a while. However it is more than likely that tenants who no doubt pay large rents are allowed to park in the same way that tenants in blocks of flats can use the car park and use the communal gym.

A simple solution is for the management company to issue permits and engage a licensed company to deal with the problem. Not rocket science - Resident Car parking; very common all over London.

which is what OP seems to be trying to do, but simply for asking how he might go about doing this, he's being lambasted by some for discriminating against renters.

and has been told Land Registry. What then? How will the OP get copies of the other leases?

The OP won't be able to find out whether the owners have included the right to park in their leases with their tenants, but he should fairly easily be able to find out whether the owners have the right to assign their rights to park in the communal car park, and if they do not, then it is irrelevant what the leases say, as the landlord can't confer on the tenant a right he himself does not have. Either the title deeds to the properties (registered at the LR) or the internal management company rules of the building which will be available to him as a resident should clear up this point. I shouldn't have thought he needs a solicitor myself, the info he needs is accessible and fairly self explanatory.
