Go here: https://www.landregistry.gov.uk/wps/...roperty_Search

Then pay £4 for the title deed and £4 for the ownership info.

Personally I think you should get the locksmith in, move in, tidy the place up and start renting it. Perfectly legal. If you can stay there for 12 years without challenge it's yours!
