Ownership of leasehold to garage

We are selling a house (freehold) with a separate leasehold garage.<br> The garage is underneath a coach house (SK282189) which is freehold but (I believe) doesn't own the garage freeholds.<br> Under the coach house are 3 garages, 1 for the flat and 2 for nearby houses.<br> We have a copy of a Lease for the garage from 2006 when the houses were new, this is in the name of the original purchasers - SK219201 and names Bovis Homes as the freeholder.<br> When we bought the house in 2014 the title for the garage was registered (SK277611) but there is no record of the lease being re-assigned to us.  Is this original lease still valid - despite being in the previous owners name?  can this lease be reassigned without it being re-issued?<br> Our buyers are asking for evidence of the freehold / insurance / and reassignment of the lease.<br> I have tried approaching Bovis with no luck.<br> Is there any way out of this?<br> Many thanks<br>

Sue - your two titles are SK277587 (#16 Freehold) and SK277611 (Garage Leasehold) and both are in your name<br> The leasehold register will refer to the original 2006 lease as granted by Bovis to the original leaseholders/tenants. That doesn't change and when you bought both titles/tenures in 2016 that triggered the two titles/tenures to be updated to your joint names<br> SK219201 is the original developer title as owned by Bovis previously and out of which the various properties/garages were transferred.
