Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Plumstead. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Plumstead - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars 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.

It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Plumstead to discover Conveyancing in Plumstead in a minority of cases reveals that the lease obliges the tenant's to insure their individual flats rather than the freeholder insuring the whole block - which is definitely better. You should double check with your property lawyer but it would appear that your solicitor is seeking to verify that the whole building is insured. Insuring your apartment is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be reinstated for lack of insurance cover.
