Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Coney Hall. Before I get started I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Coney Hall - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars 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.

My partner and I expecting to exchange on the purchase a house in Coney Hall but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have agreed recompense from the owner of £3k by way of a reduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process but my bank will not permit this. Why were they approached?
The property lawyer being on the bank conveyancing panel is duty bound to disclose to the lender of any changes to the sale price. In the event that you prohibit your lawyer to report the price change to your bank then they would need to discontinue acting for you and the lender.
