People in contracts disappearing - what to do!

[elise2000]

Hi

I'm presuming this happens relatively often, so hoping there is a procedure!

We are selling some land, and there is a uplift clause that we are due to pay to the person who sold us it a number of years ago. The only details we/solicitors/land registry have are an address which they are no longer at. No phone numbers/forwarding address etc.

It is not just that we need to pay them, but the clause will also pass to the new owners of the land, so they need to be in the sale contract.

Any ideas welcome!

Thanks in advance

Electoral roll would be a good place to look - unless they've moved away from the area.
