  • My OH and I are purchasing a one bedroom first floor purpose built maisonette in Wantage which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the owner commenced extending the lease. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our lawyers 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 solicitors 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 have to wait pending registration of the new lease?
