    If the property is registry of deeds there wont be a folio. Go to search aids on landdirect (not sure whether that is an option if you're logged in as a guest) and search for the address and a list of acts come up. If you go vuy date, you'll see the last deed and the parties to it. The grantee on the last conveyance/assignment is generally you're owner.

    Its a little more complicated with the registry of deeds because they file everything by the name of the grantor. But the search aid part of land direct is a good resource.

    Thanks. What does "If the property is registry of deeds" mean? what else would it be? I found it is a freehold if that matters

    edit. there is a folio number. view folio cost 5 euro. is the owner in the folio?

    There are two registers, one is the Land Registry where you have a Folio number. The other is the older Registry of deeds, which records everything by the name od the person selling.

    If you've found the folio...thats great...it will tell you the name of the current registered owner on Page 3

    Yes from land direct you have to pay, but its small money. I have used it before.
    Just to ask the same question, if a folio is looked up will the owner listed on the folio be notified?
    Thanks

    No they won’t know. It’s all public information.
