Mortgage companies highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The elimination of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for lending institutions to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector.

Nearly all properties in Great Harwood should appear. Have you limited your search with simply the postcode. Ordinarily it will disclose all the properties within the postcode. Assuming the property is recorded it will be there with a title number. Where they bought 48 years ago it's conceivable it may be not yet registered. The property may still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to track down the original title deeds which might be with your parent’s lender.
