  • We are are hoping to complete on a ground floor flat in Garforth 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 owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our lawyers 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 solicitors it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number is not known. Is it right that we must wait until the new lease is registered?
