  • We are buying a one bedroom ground floor purpose built maisonette in Kings Lynn which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the owner commenced extending the lease. The seller has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR.

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 property title number has not been issued. Is it correct that we must hold on until the new lease is registered?
