Free Land Registry sold prices
HM Land Registry records the price of every residential sale in England and Wales, and publishes it each month as price paid data under the Open Government Licence. MyStreetCheck uses the full dataset from 1995 onwards, so you can see every recorded sale on a street, the type of property, whether it was a new build, and whether it was freehold or leasehold.
Some sales aren't included: homes sold below market value (for example between family members), right-to-buy sales, and some sales through companies. Most sales appear one to three months after completion, once the paperwork has been registered.
How to find out who owns a property
- Go to GOV.UK and search for "Search for land and property information" (the official HM Land Registry service).
- Search by address or postcode, or pick the property on the map.
- Download the title register for £7. It shows the registered owner's name and address, the price they paid (if bought after April 2000), any mortgage lender, and restrictions or rights affecting the land.
- For boundaries, also download the title plan for £7. Plans show general boundaries only, not the exact legal line.
Be careful with websites that charge £15 to £30 or more for the same documents. They're often reselling the £7 official copy.
If a property isn't registered
About 1 in 8 pieces of land in England and Wales still isn't registered, usually because it hasn't been sold since registration became compulsory. In that case there's no title to download, and you'd need to look for old deeds, ask neighbours, or contact the council. You can apply to register unregistered land you own, which makes it easier to sell later.
