Me and my partner are purchasing a ground floor flat in Downham which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the seller commenced dealing with a lease extension. The seller’s lawyer 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 conveyancing process is for our to do a "priority search" on the lease.
