Almost all premises in Hammersmith should be revealed. Have you tried a search with just the postcode. Normally it will reveal all the properties within the postcode. Where registered it will show up with a title number. Where they bought back in the 70’s it's conceivable it may be not yet registered. The address could still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to find the original title papers which could be with your parent’s lender.
