If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Hale - 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.

I inherited a 2 bed flat in Hale, conveyancing having been completed in 2009. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension?

Please do not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

My aunt completed her conveyancing in Hale 7 years ago. She has been married, widowed and is now married again. She intends to sell the house in a few months. I think she will simply be requested to provide a copy of the marriage papers to the lawyer however she is concerned it could hold up the house move. Should she instruct a conveyancing practitioner to update the Land Registry information for the property?

It is not absolutely necessary to update the title for the property providing you have the proof needed to demonstrate how the change of name occurred.

The buyer’s conveyancer will review the land registry information and require evidence by way of proof of the change of name for example marriage certificates.
