You can do a land registry search to find out who own the property, its not that expensive to do as I recall.

still no luck :/

If you don't know the address of the land and postcode then you'll have to do a Search of Index Map (Form SIM) application.

You have to produce a map of the area with the bit you want the title to highlighted.

Not sure how non business users do that though.

Didnt you already collect that abandoned van?

[tieclubbyestate]

that van? the scrap man took it got a bollocking to so this time i want to do it "to the book"
this is a 1988 mini city and there are 2 of them there

I guess the farm is part of a bigger group of farms and the farmhouse has been left as it isn't needed. Try the next farmhouse along or the next one, one of them must have bought the farm where the mini's are. The other line of thought is wait until a farmer comes along with machinery, he must work for the owner.

Why did you give it to the scrap man?

[tieclubbyestate]

its not a farm its in a barn on the edge of an unoccupied house :/ ,
and that van i left my number and the scrap man chased me up had no choice but to give it up :'(

[Sam14]

So whats in this barn? Both 1988 minis? how do they look? Have a knock around?

Damn scrappy.

It won't be free (£20 if postcode is known), but it looks like a land registry search is needed then.

What ever you do, don't disclose the where abouts of the cars on here. They'll be gone before you know it.
