I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Yiewsley is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Yiewsley. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Yiewsley - 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.
