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.

My wife and I have AIP from Virgin Money who said we could borrow up to £300k. When do I need to instruct a solicitor for conveyancing? Heaton and Jesmond is where we plan to move to.

You can instruct a solicitor now and ask them to open a file on your behalf. This will kickstart: 1) the estate agent to send out the Sales Memorandum to the relevant parties 2) the seller’s property lawyer to submit the draft agreement. However, do not ask your conveyancer to start searches until you have your valuation report via Virgin Money and you are happy to move forward.
