Hi,

Thanks for your question.

The Land Registry keeps registered titles of all properties owned in the UK (apart from those old ones which have not been bought/sold/remortgaged in the last twenty or so years). You can search for an individual property and download the register to find out who owns it via:-
eservices.landregistry.gov.uk/wps/portal/Property_Search

However, the land registry will not search against a person’s name on request due, I suspect, to data protection laws and the Human Right to privacy. They will almost certainly only do this where there is a court order directing them to do so I’m afraid.

If you wish to informally find out then you can consider using a tracing agent to see if they have other records which state where a person either resides or is registered on the electoral roll. If you search “tracing agents” and your locality then a list of providers will be produced.

Sorry it could not be better news.
