I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Okehampton. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Okehampton - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars 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.
