  • My OH and I are purchasing a studio flat in Marlow which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the owner commenced extending the lease. 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 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. Is it correct that we have to hold on pending registration of the new lease?

This morning our informed us the lease only has 68 years and thus requires a lease extension. Should we run away, or do we negotiate our offer?
