Who's the Landlord?

Hi All,

I havent been on this site for ages - sorry I dont contribute much.

The property next door to ours has been purchased by a landlord but we cant get any contact details. There has been months of extensive renovation work with 3 different building companies. We have had our decking damaged by falling rubble, a hole knocked through a bedroom wall and the builders have been on our roof and caused a leak.

We are not getting much out of the builders - is there any way to find out who the landlord is so that we can resolve the problems directly with them?

Tony

    Land Regiistry enquiry via the webby. Cost you £ 3. Make sure you go on the proper govt site though. http://www.landregistry.gov.uk/public/property-ownership.

    Too many sites with slightly different names that charge you a lot more to do the same thing for you.

    Cheers

    Yes, you would think that the Land Registry Representative who posts on this site would be quite miffed that this still goes on, wouldn't you?

    Looks like the OP has had the right steer re checking on who the registered owner is

    mart.vader - we have been here before of course re the other sites who offer a different service and at a higher cost https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2357887

    There's nothing much I can add to what has been said there and in other threads other than it helps that online forums continue to share the link to our site, so thanks to keystone for that
