My parents cant seem to find their Llandysul property on the HM Land Registry online search facility. They recall that back in the 70’s when they acquired the property there were complications with Llandysul not being recognised in some systems.
Almost all premises in Llandysul should appear. Have you limited your search with just the postcode. Normally it will reveal all the properties within the postcode. Assuming the property is recorded it will be there with a title number. Where they bought back in the 60’s it's conceivable it may be unregistered. The address could still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to find the original title documentation which could be with your parent’s lender.
