I was advised by three or four local selling agents in Holmfirth to select a property lawyer using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers over alternative conveyancing organisations?

We don’t give any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Holmfirth. Before diving in I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.

Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Holmfirth - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details 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. 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.
