How do I find the owners of unregistered properties in Nimbus Maps?

How to locate unregistered land and contact the owner.

Registration of property only became compulsory in the 1980/1990's, any properties which haven’t changed hands since will therefore be unregistered.

Unfortunately, this means it is quite different to find out exactly who owns the property/ land.

We suggest there are 4 possible ways to locate the owners of unregistered land:

  1. Write to the address: If you click on the ‘U’ pin, the info panel will often show you the properties address. You can write a letter to this address and see if you get a response from the owner.
  2. View the planning history: Any unregistered pins which are yellow in colour are indicating that the property has applied for planning permission. You can then see who applied for that permission.
  3. View any leases: Sometimes you will see there is a ease outline on a piece of unregistered land, this means there is a leasehold attached to the freehold. You can use this information to find the owner/ landlord.
  4. Check out surrounding properties: sometimes you will find that a small piece of land has been carved out and sold from a much larger plot. You can see who sold the land and therefore who owns the unregistered area.
