  • My partner and I are acquiring a garden flat in Gants Hill which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the seller commenced dealing with a lease extension. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our to do OS1 search on the lease. 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 lease title number has not been issued. Is it correct that we must be patient until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
