In short: HM Land Registry publishes sold prices for homes in England and Wales free of charge as Price Paid Data, which many property websites also display. To find out who owns a property, download the title register from GOV.UK's "Search property information" service for a small fee; it shows the owners, any mortgage lender and restrictions. The title plan shows the boundaries in general terms. Unregistered land won't appear, and boundaries on the plan are not exact. Fraser Bond can help interpret what you find when buying or selling.
