  • We are buying a garden flat in St Leonards On Sea which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the owner commenced dealing with a lease extension. The vendor 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 conveyancing process is for our to do OS1 search on the lease. 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 lease title number is not known. Is it correct that we have to hold on until the new lease is registered?
