Finding landowner of carpark please help

lafferdog

I have read the newbie thread and spent some time trying to work out how to find out the landowner of an SIP carpark.

I have been on land registry site and it is £15 to do a title search? is that what I should be doing or is there another way to find out?

If i mention the carpark on here is that a bad idea?

Please help, I am putting together my witness statement and need to get this done... I think??:o

you could name the car park

I thought a Land Registry search was about £3 ? not £15

car park is SIP carpark on old mill st, ancoats in manchester.

could you link me or tell me the right type of land registry search, I must be an idiot to not be able to work this out

What did your defence say? And what are the circumstances? As this is a court claim, circumstances are relevant.

Here is my case so far, you have spoken to me before

I have just started my defence, shall I post it on here?

lafferdog

well here is where I am up to, hope this helps.

I assert that I am not liable to the Claimant for the sum claimed, or any amount at all, for the following reasons:

• I am the registered keeper of the vehicle in question, no. xxxx xxx. The Claim relates to an alleged debt arising from the vehicle having been parked on a hatched are of Islington Wharf Car Park in Manchester, on xx xx xxxx.


• I returned to my car to find a ticket issued for parking on the hatched area of the car park. When I left the car I wasn't sure if the hatched area was in use or valid as it was so worn out and parking there wouldn't have caused any obstruction. I asked a couple of other people parking if they thought it was ok to park there and they agreed it looked fine and they had seen cars park there before. Further to that there are no markings anywhere in the car park so I assumed they were redundant and not in use. Wrong to assume maybe, but that was the impression I had.

• The ticket offered the opportunity to appeal which I did straight away with photos of the area in question. Around 10 days later I received a letter saying I now owed £100, and there was no acknowledgement of my appeal letter, so I wrote back to say I had appealed and resent the original appeal letter. On xxxxxx I received another letter from SIP saying I now owed £150, I resent the appeal as there was still no acknowledgement of it.

• On the 25th of January I received a letter from Gladstones Solicitors saying I then owed £250.

Remove your registration number from the above post, the private parking companies do monitor this forum.

that is a witness statement , not a defence

I suggest you stick to your original thread and draft a defence and post it in that other thread, for continuity

I will do, and thanks for your patience

do you have any links to, or can you let me know what the correct land registry check is?

Land Registry title search is £3 for the Official Copy Register Entries and £3 for the plan. Definitely not £15. Phone them, they are very helpful. If you can't identify the land adequately you may need to do a search of the index map to identify it, and I think this costs a fee as well but don't know what that is.
