PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour.

    I have clicked on your first link , 
    on the filing history , it does state dormant company although there was a director on the 7/11/2019
    on the overview, shows as an active company in London
    the company no. for both are the same.
    vendor has been told by his solicitor the agents for d of n have give him details of sale to CEFN
    Dormant companies have directors. All companies have directors.
    The only difference is that dormant companies don't trade. This one has never traded.

    Active simply means that they are extant - they have not been dissolved.

    Cefn Estates have no assets on their balance sheet, nor have they ever had.
    Nor were they called Cefn Estates until 2011 - so if the sale was "many years ago", it was not to this company.

    (BTW, Cefn isn't an acronym, so doesn't need fully capitalising - it's a word. It's Welsh for a ridge.)

    If the freehold has been sold in the last few decades, then it will be registered at the Land Registry. Who does the entry there show as owner?
