DEBRETT HOUSE HISTORY RESEARCH
Find out more about the history of your UK house
 Since the 1980s, Debrett Ancestry Research has helped people trace the history of their UK houses and properties, from humble cottages to extensive estates.
If you live in an old property, or have recently bought one, from time to time you may wonder about the history of your house and its former inhabitants: who lived there before you? Every old house has its secrets and while we cannot promise to uncover them all, a programme of research into its past will certainly find something of interest.
Our UK House History Research is available for properties in England, Scotland and Wales.
We carry out as much research as we can within a standard budget of £750 and send you a bound narrative report. If further research is feasible, we advise accordingly. Architectural surveys and a line drawing of the property can also be arranged for you if required.
“I am absolutely delighted with our House History. This is an extremely well produced document, beautifully put together. I would expect this to make an excellent gift for those lucky enough to live in a house of historic interest.”
Dr J Sargent, Hampshire
Before we can begin our research into your house history, we need a large-scale map showing the property and at least one photograph. It is also very important to obtain copies of any title deeds available (which may be held by your solicitor or mortgage company). If you are sure that no title deeds survive, we ask for a copy of the land registry certificate.
