Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Failsworth. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Failsworth - 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.

We own a leasehold flat in Failsworth. Conveyancing was finalised in 2011. I have heard that I mustn’t let the lease length fall too low. Why is that a problem?
Failsworth leasehold properties are for a prescribed period - usually ninety nine years when they commenced. However many appartments in Failsworth were constructed or converted 30 or more years ago and so these leases now have fewer than eighty years left to run. That may seem like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders generally need leases to have at least seventy five years left to be mortgageable. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are approaching 75 years. To enhance your property value you should be considering whether to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. You should note that there are advantages to doing so before the lease hits eighty years as when the lease is less than eighty years the amount to be paid to extend starts to increase.
