Finding the previous owner of a house

Post by john4545 »

Hope someone can help. I have an address of a relative of mine, dating early 1960's, and trying to find out who owned the house they lived in. All living relatives don't know. Does anyone know how I can find out. Thanks for any help.

Electoral Rolls should show it but they're not necessarily on line.

Wouldn't they just show who lived there, not necessarily who owned it (if the owner lived somewhere else)?

Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority.

deeds should list all owner land registry would be you best bet
A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.

Quite right, I'd misunderstood the post thinking they were looking for who lived in the property before their relative not who actually owned it.
