I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Frinton and Walton. Before I get started I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.

If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Frinton and Walton - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties.

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.
