  • We are are hoping to complete on a three bed flat in Woodingdean which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the owner is in the process of extending the lease. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our property lawyers to do a "priority search" on the lease. The concern 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 must hold on until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
