The lease was starting to get low so the vendor commenced dealing with a lease extension. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our to do a pre-completion search on the lease. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number is not known. Is it right that we have to wait until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
