If you live in
​RENTED PROPERTY

If your home is rented it doesn't mean you cannot find out more about it. You will not have access to the title deeds or any other documentary evidence, but there are ways round this.
Firstly, get in touch with the landlord. He may have already looked at the history or be willing to share what he does know with you. 
If not you can still get some  information from the Land Registry. For more  about how to do this follow the link to the  Trace my House website
