  • We are buying a one bedroom apartment in Houghton Regis which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the vendor commenced extending the lease. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our conveyancing practitioners to do a pre-completion search on the lease. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our conveyancing practitioners it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number is not known. Is it right that we must be patient until the new lease is registered?
