The seller’s lawyer 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 house buying 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 lease title number has not been issued. Is it correct that we have to hold on until the new lease is registered?
