Title deed - land enquiry

Good afternoon.
Apologies, if this has been posted in the wrong section.
I have had great help in the past from the forum. I always come back to browse on and off.
I have a matter relating to Title Deeds, which I would like advice and help with.
I am interested in purchasing a plot of land which sits on the end of a row of terrace houses. The plot of land originally had 2 terrace houses, which were demolished many years ago, and are now cleared.
Having done an Index Map Search with the Land Registry, I found that the actual plot of land is Freehold. However, the same Title number also shows that when the plot of land had houses, the whole row of terraces (10 houses) were subject to a 999 yr Leasehold from 1870.
Now here is were the problem arises.
The Lessee's Title is registered at two addresses on the row of terraces (1928), which are now Freehold. The individual who owns the Freehold on the row has no knowledge of what has happened to the Leasehold. They are more than happy to sell the plot of land to me, and suggested that I discuss taking out Defective Title Cover as a precautionary measure.
To save you the hassle, I will give you the information that the Charges Register has:
1. Lease dated 27 October 1873 to
for 999 yrs from 24 December 1870
note: Lessee's title registered under (title number and address given here)
2.The land is subject to the following rights reserved by a Conveyance and Release of the land in this title and other land dated 28 December 1928 made between
and
(Vendors) and The United Kingdom Temperance and General Provident Institution (Purchasers)
It then mentions the general repairs, and so on.
Note: the Conveyance to the Vendors referred to is a Conveyance dated 11 may 1925 between the 1. Right Honourable Edward George Villiers Earl of Derby, 2. the Right Honourable
, the Right honourable
, 3. Henry Green and William Green.
Any help that you can provide would be much appreciated, and My apologies for the long drawn out enquiry.
I am going to see a Solicitor next week, and just need pointers on what I need to ask, and if this can sorted out.
Regards

Just to add, the UNITED KINGDOM TEMPERANCE AND GENERAL PROVIDENT INSTITUTION dissolved in August 2018.
Does this change anything?0
