  • Me and my OH are are hoping to complete on a ground floor flat in Waolstenholme which has share of freehold and a leasehold.

A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our 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 it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number has not been issued.
