If the deeds are lost, then they are lost. Other the LR records there's no central record. 

However, you can download copies of the documents for the other three flats - your lease is probably the same as theirs.
also download your own, if you haven't already - I would expect the actual office copies to include a record of any relevant restrictions etc.

Plus, if you can get a copy of the lease for the other three flats they should contain the contact details of the freeholder.  You could then contact them directly and request a copy of the lease for your specific flat.
I'd be surprised if the freeholder hasn't got a copy of your lease.

The freeholder is the 4 flats themselves. We have no managing agent. We each own 25% of the freehold.

So, what's the risk? One of your neighbours secretly has a copy of the lease and will produce it when you least expect it? Different from, say, a third party freeholder appearing out of the woodwork.

If you want to sort it "properly", I suppose you could get everyone to sign you up with a replacement lease.
