  • Me and my fiance are purchasing a three bed flat in Ashford Kent which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the vendor is in the process of extending the lease. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the house buying process is for our to do a "priority search" on the property title. The problem 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 has not been issued. Is it right that we must be patient pending registration of the new lease?
