Name not on Lease?

Hi,
I've been the leaseholder of a flat since 2013. Having recently seen the Title Register, I noticed that the parties listed under the details of the lease are:
(a) the landlord
(b) somebody else

As for my name, it only appears in part B: Proprietorship Register:
Title Absolute,
Proprietor: Mr. Papageno.

Is this something I should worry about?
thanks

    Assuming you weren’t the person the lease was originally granted to then no this isn’t something you need to worry about.

    A lease is always referenced using the date and parties from when it was first granted.

    If you are the registered proprietor of the leaseholder's interest, that means you are the current leaseholder. The lease is always described with reference to the original parties, that doesn't mean either the freeholder or the leaseholder are still the same.

    As others have said, the lease names the two paries who originally created it.


    Eitger of both could have since sold (ie the original freeholder may have sold the freehold, the original leaseholder may have sold the lease.)


    This will be be recorded by the Land Registry Title for the freehold/leasehold (Proprietorship Register).


    The lease itself however does not change. It was still created, on the original date specified, beetwen the original two parties specifed.
  • Great. Thank you all for your answers!
