I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Lake District. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Lake District - 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.
