does anyone know if you can find out who lives in a property without the owners finding out that you are wanting that information?

Christina, a few years ago, I wanted to know the name of some neighbours down the street. I went into my local Council Offices, and asked for the Electoral List for that area. And ,low and behold, there was the name and address I was looking for.
Dno't know if things have changed now though.
Good Luck

Electoral lists should give you names of people eligible to vote.
I'm not sure where you can view current ones. Our library no longer holds them for public viewing.
People can of course opt out of the list open to view.

You MIGHT get outline info from 192.com, but for detailed info you'll have to pay.....
