Almost all premises in Nantwich should show up. Have you attempted a search with simply the postcode. Usually it will mention all the residences inside the postcode. Assuming the property is recorded it will show up with a title number. If they bought 50 years ago it's conceivable it may be unrecorded. The property might still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to locate the original title deeds which could be with your parent’s bank.
