I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Porthcawl. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Porthcawl - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties.
