Who owns my neighbours house?

Mizu_Ger

Is there any way I can find out who the names of the actual owner(s) of my next door neighbour's house is? I am having problems with the people living there and am not sure if they own the place or not, so want to find this out. Is this type of information available anywhere?

(bad relations with the people living there, so can't really ask them directly ).

You could look up the register on www.prtb.ie

Click 'Registration of Tenancies' and 'Published Register'

All it will tell you is if it's rented out and registered. It's a start anyway

you could try the Thom's Directory if the house is in dublin.

Just remember that it may not be a registered tenancy, so if you don't find it on the prtb don't give up - it's only a starting place.

How do you get on with your other neighbours? Do you think that they would be able to tell you if it was owner occupied?

Hi

In a development owned managed by a property management company the company are required by law to keep a register of the property owners at their offices . What it does not say in the guidelines is that the no. of the unit owned by the person should be listed. This little omission has been used by some property management companies as a reason not to give out the name of the owner of a specific property. If you are in a development you should check the register with the management company. It must be avauilable for inspection by anybody. For more information on the operation of the property management companies see the ODCE (Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement) hanbook on the Management companies

D/2008/1 Company Law Handbook on Residential Property Owners' Management Companies The Director has issued issued a detailed Company Law Handbook on Residential Property Owners' Management Companies. This is a 'self-help' guide for management company directors and property owners and contains short chapters on specific company law topics. The Director has also issued a summary booklet to assist ordinary residents.
If you cannot get the information you want from the register you should check with the Property Registration Authority. My understanding is that they will charge you either €6 or €25 euro to tell you who owns the property. Your Solicitor should have direct access to this information. Alternatively you can visit their offices. see www.prai.ie for more info.

I checked that and it's not on the registered as a rental property.

I get on fine with the other neighbours. It's not a very tight-knit neighbour to be honest. I am almost sure that the occupier owns the house, but need to be sure.
