I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Freezywater. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Freezywater - 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.

The bare minimum you need a Home Buyer's Report. As the residence was built more than a decade ago the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report may suffice. The report should highlight any apparent issues and suggest additional investigation where appropriate. Where there are any indications of material issues obtain a full structural survey.
