The lease was starting to get low so the vendor commenced extending the lease. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. A crucial aspect of the house buying process is for our conveyancing practitioners to do a pre-completion search on the property title.

Is it correct that we have to hold on until the new lease is registered?
