If the lease is registered - and most are in Ireleth and Askam - 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.

    Are there any major works in the planning that will add a premium to the maintenance costs? Please note that where the lease has no more than eighty years it will impact the marketability of the flat. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are willing to lend given the lease term. A short lease means that you will most likely require a lease extension sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of how much this will be. Remember, in most cases you will be be obliged to have owned the property for two years before you are legally able to extend the lease. How many years remain on the lease?
