  • We are buying a two bedroom ground floor purpose built flat in Sparkhill which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the vendor commenced dealing with a lease extension. The seller has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our conveyancing practitioners to do OS1 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 property title number has not been issued. Is it right that we must wait until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
