I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Almondsbury. Before diving in I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Almondsbury - 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.
