Why would Voldemort buy a house? He's the most feared wizard of 
all time. He just took it over; if you recall, the towns people 
said that it never stayed lived in because of the events of the 
night the Riddles were killed. 

And if he bought the house then why didn't Frank Bryce know about 
it? He could have used a memory charm on him or use magic to make 
the people forget it was there - like make it unplottable like
Sirius's house and Hogwarts etc.. 

If you're evil why would you do something law abiding? He knows 
the towns people wouldn't bother him. It was just unfornate for 
Frank. I'm sure if Voldemort would have been stronger and had not 
just arrived he would have taken care of Frank sooner.
