My brother and I are are hoping to complete on a three bedroom second floor purpose built flat in Staindrop which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the seller commenced extending the lease. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our solicitors 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 conveyancing practitioners 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 be patient pending registration of the new lease?
