how to find out who owns land/building

Hi,
There's a piece of land that backs onto my garden that I'd like to buy (to lengthen my garden) if possible. I presume it's in private ownership because it's fenced around and has a (ramshackle) shed on it. Can anyone offer advice on how I could set about finding out who owns it. None of my neighbours knows. It's in Dublin.

Try contacting the land registry?

Hi,

I had to do a similar thing lately. I wanted to find out who owned a piece of land close to where I lived. Basically if you are in Dublin just head into the land registry on Nassau st.

Anyways head in and they are helpful, I think the fee was 5 euro. All you have to do is point out the exact piece of land on a map and they will look up the registered owners for you.

Check www.landregistry.ie

Great - thanks.
