Tenure
We are advised by our Client that we are to sell the Freehold interest held on two titles. Land Registry OCE's are available upon request. We will provide as much information about tenure as we are able to and in the case of leasehold properties, we can in most cases provide a copy of the lease. They can be complex and buyers are advised to take legal advice upon the full terms of a lease. Where a lease is not readily available we will apply for a copy and this can take time.
