Should I go with them or choose an internet conveyancing company offering no completion no cost conveyancing in Midhurst?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to cover those transactions that do not proceed.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Midhurst. Before diving in I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Midhurst - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars 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.
