  • We are purchasing a maisonette in Streatham which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the owner is in the process of dealing with a lease extension. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. A crucial aspect of the house buying process is for our solicitors to do OS1 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 property title number is not known. Is it correct that we have to be patient pending registration of the new lease?
