Me and my partner are purchasing a studio flat in Bermondsey which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the owner is in the process of dealing with a lease extension. The seller 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 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 correct that we have to hold on until the new lease is registered?

We currently own a ground floor flat in Bermondsey and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home.

Should I contact the freeholder first and will they be able to give me a cost?
