I want to know who owns the land - the Council told me to contact HMLR

I went to the Council as I thought that they owned the land because<br> The street lights don't work; or<br> People are dumping rubbish at the back of my property; or&nbsp;<br> people keep parking on the bit of land by my garage/property; or<br> Anything else as the council told me to ask you as it's not their land<br> &nbsp;

People often want to know who owns a specific parcel of land and many often start with the council as either they think they own it or will know who does<br> The council will often only advise if they do own it but if they don't the advice given is to come to HM Land Registry<br> That doesn't mean that we simply tell you as you, like anyone else inc MPs, Police, councils and more can only get the information if the land is registered.<br> You should complete a search online or by post as appropriate and the search attracts a fee -&#160;<a href="https://www.gov.uk/search-property-information-land-registry">Search for land and property information - GOV.UK</a>&#160;<br> Contacting us to state &quot;The Council said you would tell us who owns the land......&quot; is a half truth as what was missed was the fact that such information is only available on searching and with a fee
