The lease was starting to get low so the owner commenced dealing with a lease extension.

A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our to do OS1 search on the lease. The problem 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 is not known.
