    Pay four quid and get the info from the Land Registry website if you know the full address

    If you can't afford £4 then I doubt if you can afford to rent it.

    Squat?

    Think you'll find an awful lot of people pay their own rent.
    It's someone else's fault.

    The land registry is always the best bet. You don't mention if the flat is actually available at the moment. Where have you seen it advertised?
