    try the direct approach, knock on the door & ask if they own the house or are renters. If they rent, do they know the owner or is it through an agency.

    Go to a local real estate agent and let them know you're an interested purchaser of this particular property and ask if they could find out if the vendor is interested in selling – you're prepared to pay top dollar as it's ideal for your needs. Guess what happens? He/she will get onto RP Data or APM and look up the details or give their preferred Conveyancer a call to find out who the owner is. You see, the agent hopes he/she can list it and can get that info for you for free. Not exactly 'above board' but it can work. Otherwise, pay RP Data their fee and get a full report on the property including ownership from Lands Title.

    Or you could ring up the local council and tell them that you live next door and need to speak to the owner about some fence issues…
    they will give you the contact details

    CHR hate to say that has changed.

    If you subscribe anyone can access RP Data not just an Agent.

    Cheers

    I prefer saleprices.com.au to pricefinder – they allow you to pay per report, which can be cheaper for one off searches
