Who owns my street?

Every property in England & Wales owned through a company is on a public register — and since 2016 the register of who is behind each company is public too. We joined them. Type a London street and see its ownership, situation by situation.

How did we build this?

We joined ten years of land and company registers — and found 4,000 owners breaking the law. Read the investigation.

Questions people ask

How do I find out who owns a street in London?

Type the street name into the free lookup above. It is built from HM Land Registry records of every property owned through a company, joined to the Companies House registers of who is behind each company. For every street it shows the company-owned properties and classifies each owner: a named landlord, a corporate chain, an offshore company, a dissolved company, or a council.

Can I see who owns one specific house?

This tool shows street totals rather than individual addresses, because the address data carries Royal Mail rights that cannot be republished. For a single property, HM Land Registry sells the title record for £7.

Why do some properties have no named owner?

Since January 2023 overseas companies owning UK property have been legally required to declare who is behind them. Our investigation found roughly 4,000 owners in breach, including one Isle of Man company that has owned 313 Kensington flats since 2007 without ever naming its owner.

Does it show homes owned by private individuals?

No. Homes owned by people in their own name are not on these registers. The tool covers property owned through companies, which is where ownership is hardest to see.
