Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

My parents cant seem to find their Burnham On Sea property on the HMLR website. They have a vague memory 48 years ago when they bought the bungalow there were complications with Burnham On Sea not being recognised in some systems.

The vast majority of residences in Burnham On Sea should appear. Have you attempted a search with just the postcode. Normally it will identify all the properties within that postcode. Assuming the property is registered it will be there with a title number. Where they bought back in the 70’s it's conceivable it may be unregistered. The address might still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to find the original title deeds which could be with your parent’s lender.
