I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Ottershaw. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Ottershaw - 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.
