My folks are unable to locate their Notting Hill property on the HM Land Registry website. They recall that sixty years ago when they acquired the property there were complications concerning the address not being recognised in some systems.

Almost all residences in Notting Hill should show up. Have you endevoured to search with simply the postcode. Normally it should identify all the premises within that postcode. Where registered it will show up with a title number. Where they bought sixty years ago it's conceivable it may be unrecorded. The address might still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to find the original title documentation which may be with your parent’s lender.
