My folks are experiencing problems in finding their Banbury land registry title on the online search facility. They recall that back in the 60’s when they acquired the property there were complications regarding Banbury not being identified on some systems.
Nearly all properties in Banbury should appear. Have you tried a search to just the postcode. Usually it should disclose all the houses and flats inside that postcode. Assuming the property is recorded it will be there with a title number. Where they bought back in the 70’s it's conceivable it may be unregistered.
