The 1954 Act affords security of tenure to commercial tenants, granting the a statutory right to make a request to court for a new tenancy and remain in occupation at the end of an expired lease.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Knutsford. Before I get started I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.

If the lease is registered - and most are in Knutsford - 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.
