  • Me and my husband are purchasing a garden flat in Shrivenham which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the seller is in the process of extending the lease. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our conveyancing practitioners to do a pre-completion search on the property title. The concern 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 lease title number has not been issued. Is it correct that we must be patient until the new lease is registered?

You are able to recommend a good property lawyers with expertise in lease extensions. Preferably based in Shrivenham?
