The lease was on the short side so the vendor commenced dealing with a lease extension. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. An essential part of the house buying process is for our lawyers to do a pre-completion search on the property title. The problem 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 right that we must be patient until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
