Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Bromborough - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

How many of the leaseholders are in arrears for their maintenance charge payments? Please note if it is fewer than eighty years it will impact the value of the property. Check with your lender that they are happy with residual term of the lease. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely need a lease extension sooner rather than later and it is worth finding out what this would cost. Remember, in most cases you would be be obliged to have owned the residence for two years in order to be entitled to carry out a lease extension. You should want to find out as much as you can regarding the managing agents as they will impact your use and enjoyment of the property. Being a leasehold owner you will be at the mercy of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to every day matters such as the cleanliness of the common parts. Ask other tenants what they think of them. Finally, investigate as to the dates that you are obliged pay the service charge to the managing agents and precisely what you get for your money.
