Business or house tenancy??

Finding the owner of premises then may be difficult. Is this a private house, shop, factory? If commercial premises, is the owner likely to have lived on the property?
If the property was sold at any time, it is almost certain to have been advertised. If it was a business, you may find the owner's name on the advert. The problem then is locating when it was sold and the advert. Can you trace the property in any directory?
A few years earlier, possibly too early for you, there are the records created under the Finance Act 1910. See TNA's research guide https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/c...sLeafletID=102
The title of the thread includes the word 'tenancy' - are you after tenants, or owners?

I am trying to find out when a person took ownership of a house about 1927- 1945, the property apparent was sold, demobilshed and new houses were built in its place. I haven't been able to confirm this, though I can't find a post code for the house (9 Vale Road, Ramsgate); the rest of the street is listed.
How can I find out who owned 9 Vale Road and when it was sold??
thanks Julie

Ramsgate Rate Books, if anywhere, will presumably be at the East Kent Archives Centre which Julie knows all about now.

Thanks Ed and Peter,
I will ring Dover today, at last I am making progress with my Ramsgate family.
My advise to anyone is if you come to brickwall sometimes you have to take a different route to get over or around it rather than sitting there hitting you head on it. The most unexpected information can lead back to where you need to be.
Good luck to all

Rate books and P.O. directories
I have managed to access the rate books for Ramsgate for 1918-1922, which were very informative. I still need to know when the occupation of a business/flat changed from my g.grandfather to his sister, in Ramsgate and the rate books for 1924-1932 are currently unavailable (no one knows where they are!!).
I wondered if some could tell me when P.O Directories became available and who will have a copy.
Also, were Kelly's directories produced every year, as I am having a problem accessing the 1925/7,8,9. I have seen the 1930, when did they stop producing them?
Thanks Julie
