Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Leeswood. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Leeswood - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties.
