  • Me and my husband are acquiring a one bedroom ground floor purpose built flat in Wool which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the vendor is in the process of dealing with a lease extension. The owner 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 to do a pre-completion 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. Is it correct that we have to wait until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
