Property ownership enquiries

Before we can respond to an enquiry, you'll first need to:

  1. Check the land registry (gov.uk) to get the property's postcode and/or title name.
  2. Contact the district/borough council that the property is located in. If the local authority can confirm they own the land or building, they'll support you with your query.

If the district council has confirmed they are not the owner of the property, you can get in touch with us.

You'll need to include the following information:

  • Postcode and/or title number
  • A plan or map (we will accept Google Maps)
  • Local authority correspondence about this land/building
  • Details of your enquiry
  • Your contact details.
