We're first time buyers - agreed a price, but the property agent told us that the seller will only issue a contract if we instruct their recommended conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’.

My mother and father cant seem to find their Melton Constable property on the HMLR online search facility. They have a vague memory back in the 70’s when they purchased the house there were complications with the post code not being recognised in some systems.

Nearly all properties in Melton Constable should appear. Have you attempted a search with just the postcode. Normally it should mention all the premises within that postcode. Assuming the property is recorded it will be there with a title number. If they bought back in the 70’s it's conceivable it may be unregistered. The property might still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to locate the original title deeds which might be with your parent’s mortgage company.
