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.

Brynmawr Leasehold Conveyancing - Sample of Queries before buying

Most Brynmawr leasehold flats will have a service charge for the upkeep of the block levied by the management company. If you buy the flat you will have to meet this liability, normally in instalments throughout the year. This can be anything from two or three hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for bigger purpose-built blocks. There will also be a rentcharge for you to pay yearly, ordinarily this is not a significant sum, say about £25-£75 but you need to enquire it because occasionally it could be surprisingly expensive. The best form of lease arrangement is a share of the freehold. In this arrangement the lessees enjoy control and even though a managing agent is often employed where it is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. It would be sensible to find out as much as you can about the company managing the block as they will impact your use and enjoyment of the property. As the owner of a leasehold property you are often at the mercy of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to daily issues such as the tidiness of the communal areas. Ask other people if they are happy with them. On a final note, find out the dates that the service fees are due to the appropriate party and precisely how they are spending the funds.
