Land records are not that difficult esp if they are Lord's Rent (as opposed to Abbey or Barony land)
the key to a property is the rent paid and its class (quarterland, intack or cottage), parish + treen (for qtrland).
Rents were fixed from early 16th century except that qtrland rents doubled by 1704 Act of settlement. Legally all owners were tenants of the Lord (in practice they 'owned' the land and could sell it though land of inheritance (ie qtrland which unless purchased by testator could not be devised by will but went to heir at law) -
Lib Assed gives who is tenant for a specific parcel of land in a certain year, lib vas records the actual transfer between tenants + the reason for it - an alienation fine is generally payable on transfer - reasons could be a bill of sale, inheritance or exchange.

There was an additional form of tax on land - the composition fine - tenants could lease for a fixed period or for duration of 3 lives - at end of this period another fine was payable - these lives etc are recorded in the various composition books. post Act a geneneral survey of land holding was made as all land had a fine to pay due to Act - this key document is the 1704 Composition book (+ a more readable 1760 copy thereof)

Abbey land transfers + holdings can be found in Lib Monestarium, Barony lands in the Barony book (tho both of these less informative than lib vas/lib assed )

The Act of Settlement of 1704 was key - post that date all property transfers had to be registered as did all mortgages - the actual deed of transfer+ mortgage are those in North/South side Sales or N/S Mortgages (both upto 1847) then post that date via the various requisition books.

Thus armed with this and a couple of weeks in Museum you should be able to trace property back to 1515 and with it the sequence of legal heirs etc.
