Robert - I would not expect the title number to be changed re the freehold. If you have a new longer lease then that will have a new title number and if you have that then you can search online using it. Until it's finished it won't be available to view.
Search for land and property information - GOV.UK
The key Q from me would be that if the solicitor is no longer acting re the freehold purchase then who is? Have we been informed?
