I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Bangor. Before diving in I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Bangor - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties.
