How can I find if a commercial property has been sold

[DSLiverpool]

I need to find out if a property I am due cash for once sold (but I dont own it) has had the sale completed - other than asking the agent can anyone advise me how to find out. Its empty but was due to complete late August. Cheers

search on the land registry, or potentially zoopla

Are you worried that someone may be telling you porkies OP? Seems a strange question. If you have a fee interest then just ask the person with whom you have agreed the fee. Check local planning authority website to see if anyone has applied for consent to do something. One doesnt actually need to own a property to apply for consent but there may be a clue there. As previous poster mentions, check land registry first.

Yes, they will have a copy of the deed if its been updated. It may take a little while to filter through though

You can purchase copy of Title online from Land Registry for £3 but as has been stated it can take a few weeks to be updated from sale date.

One of the tell tales when looking at land registry is that there will be a day notice on the title. If a transaction has or is taking place (be it a new lease or full blown purchase) there will be a day notice. If there isn't then best download the title and see what's what.

I use land reg everyday as part of my job so if you want me to check (I won't charge the £3!)then just pm me. Might save time and then you don't have to call whomever you don't really want to call....
