My wife and I own a terraced Edwardian house in Yatton. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Birmingham Midshires.

The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3).

You can also check the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one close by in Yatton I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 51 years on the lease.

If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account.
