Derelict property

[warpig3]

I have spied a derelict house, its completely bricked up and the garden is overgrown. I have checked government records and it appears to have been vacant since 1995.

I am quite interested in this property and was wondering how you would go about the 'possibility' of purchasing such a building.

Does anyone know or have any good pointers?

many thanks

You can find out who owns it by paying the Land Registry here �3. You'll need the postcode, though. Should be able to get that from the Royal Mail website.

Thank you SeaJayPea, Land Registry! Cant believe I didnt think of them as I used to work for them many moons ago!

Cheers

Only works if the land is registered though.
Otherwise ask around the locals who owns it.

I did ask around buildersmate. Apparently the property was owned and rented out until around 1995 but the neighbours are relatively new and dont know who the landlord/owner was. Unfortunately it is in a rural location and there only are two neighbours so I came to a dead end with that one.

However I have put in a call to an old colleague in Land Registers so fingers crossed.
