The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. 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 property title number has not been issued. Is it right that we must be patient pending registration of the new lease?
