This shows that the property was sold in December 2008, the price paid, the person who bought it and who they borrowed the money from. How do I find out who sold it, which is the important question for me? Is there some sort of search I can do? Thanks - fingers crossed S

	Could the Land Registry give you any more information - or a local estate agent Liz

I would think looking on an electoral role may give you an idea of who the property belonged to before, but not a guarantee, as someone it may have been sub-let. Hope that makes sense? Another thought have you googled the actual address? See if anything comes up i.e. estate agent? Tina x
