no the Land registry is correct. Now you have the LL name type a letter to them at the property address - hopefully they will have a redirect set up and will get the letter.

contact the tenants and ask who their managing agent /landlord details are as you want to buy the house as an investment and willing to pay well etc....
Oh ok, I've never done one before - I was expecting the owners details to list their current address as there are separate fields for "Address of property" and "registered owners". Either way, a quick electoral roll search has thrown up their current address type

I've now logged it with the council/EHO.

Additionally I wanted to contact the landlord, I paid for a land registry search but the address for the owners has come back as the property address? confused

Does this mean they're one of the many amateur landlords letting their former-residence and not informing the relevant people? It still has a lender so assuming a normal residential mortgage against the property, which is also frowned upon non?
You can't assume any of that, they might have just purchased another property subsequently. At least you have the names? You can now do an electoral roll lookup (few credits on 192.com etc) or a credit trace (£40ish) if you are VERY keen! Also search companies house for directors with same name, you never know..

Have you talked to them about it during the week, when they are sober? I know it is annoying as fk, I had a noisy neighbour, but it turns out the reason they were up till 4/5am was cocaine and other drugs. It does tend to make people not realise how much of a racket they are making and they could well have just st themselves when you knocked on their door and they just wanted you out of the way/didn't want to speak too much to give away they were all as high as kites.

But I certainly wouldn't be thinking about trying to find ways to stitch up their landlord.
I'm not trying to stitch the LL up, just acquire their actual address to send a letter informing them of the situation.

If it was my property I think I'd like to know how my house was being treated.
Apologies, maybe I read to much into this part:

As I said in my previous post, before you go down the complaint route today, I would try and have a word with them when they're in from work today/tomorrow and see what they are like.
Sorry, that was more my ignorance/confusion about the details on the land registry document smile
