previous owners

Who had it before

Previous owners are the people or entities who owned something before the current holder.

The phrase appears most often in real estate and vehicle transactions, where the history of ownership matters: The previous owners installed a new roof last year.

It can also apply to businesses, pets, or any property that changes hands: The dog's previous owners gave him up when they moved.
