Page of lease lost - not at land registry and not with me

    HI Richard

    I wasn't the first lessee of the flat - the previous lessee was there when the lease was extended and garden changed / freehold purchased. Got the lease from Barnetts, which is 23 pages of text inc signatures, plus 2 pages of plans. The plan pages aren't numbered. Possibly this is where the confusion lies - it ends correctly, third clause point five, so nothing missing.

    Also got the original lease from the Director upstairs, from 1975, before the lease was extended and the garden plans changed - which was 23 pages, but double sided (allowing 1 blank?) - again, going up to Third point five, so proves nothing has been lost.

    Should this be enough to satisfy everyone? Just sent it all on a courier to my current solicitor.

    Thanks as always!

    Yes, looks as if it will now be sorted.

    As a retired conveyancing solicitor I believe the information given in the post to be useful assuming any properties concerned are in England/Wales but I accept no liability for it.
