The lease was starting to get low so the vendor is in the process of 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 conveyancing process is for our to do a "priority search" on the property title. The concern 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 property title number has not been issued. Is it right that we have to wait pending registration of the new lease?
