The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry.

The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our property lawyers 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 pending registration of the new lease?
