I'm in the process of biting a several-year-old bullet and finally buying.

Narrowed it down to a couple of flats, and I'm now wanting to check how many of the other flats in the buildings are rental properties, and how many are owner-occupiers.

Anyone know of an online resource that might furnish useful info?

Or indeed an offline one? Council department etc?

go and knock on a few doors. I did this when I was buying - gives you a great insight into the culkture of the place. pitbulls and fagsmoke can;t be found on any register...
There is always death and taxes; however, death doesn't get worse every year.....

my predictions for H1 2012 were:
UK Houseprices vary by +/-5% in GDP, but fall another 20% in currencies that hold their value, such as AUD, CHF !TICK!
1 or more countries exit the Euro by end June 2012 !LOSE!
Riots/civil unrest cause +10 deaths in european countries !TICK!
gold reaches $2000 by end June 2012 !LOSE!

predictions for H2 2012:
UK national houseprice average down by -10% in GDP on YOY average !TICK!
1+ more round of QE in UK, 1 more round of helicoptering in US !TICK!
Obama win in US elections !TICK!
gold reaches $2300 by end December 2012 !LOSE!

predictions for H1 2013
UK national houseprice average stays steady by +-3% in GBP
1+ more round of QE in UK, 1+ more round of helicoptering in US !TICK!
IPCC issues some statements that 'global warming' is in a hiatus period, but will come back, oh yes
gold reaches $2000 by end June 2013

You can see whether there is a registered landlord for a property on the Scottish Landlord Registration site.

As for finding out whether any of those properties is an HMO (house in multiple occupation), I would guess that you would have to contact the city council and ask.

Having just been watching Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes, I have a delightful image of you tottering round the doors in a fake set of grey whiskers and a battered bowler hat, pretending to be selling clothes pegs.

Sounds a decent idea though. What was you opening gambit when they answered the door?
