Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Pocklington - 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.

Pocklington Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - A selection of Queries before buying

    Where a Pocklington lease has no more than 80 years it will affect the marketability of the flat. Check with your bank that they are content with remaining years on the lease. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will almost definitely require a lease extension sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of what this will be. Remember, in most cases you will need to own the residence for a couple of years in order to be eligible to carry out a lease extension. What restrictions are there in the Pocklington Lease?

I own a leasehold flat in Pocklington. Conveyancing was finalised in last year. I have heard that I mustn’t let the the remaining lease term to fall too low. Why is that a problem?

Pocklington residential long term leases are for a fixed term - often ninety nine years when they are first granted. However many flats in Pocklington were constructed or converted in the 60’s and so such leases now have fewer than eighty years left to run. This may seem like plenty of time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions on the whole need leases to have at least 75 years unexpired to adequate security. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are nearing eighty years. To optimize your property value you should be thinking about whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. You should note that there are strong financial reasons to taking action before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease is below eighty years the premium to be paid to extend starts to increase.
