Many thanks Adam for your prompt response. My solicitor is advising to update the Land Registry before exchange as according to him there is no guarantee the Land Registry will accept the lease and if they don't accept it and we had already exchanged, then I will be stuck with a potential defective lease and will not be able to sell the property in the future. From the current seller point of view, their solicitor is saying that there is no reason the Land Registry would not accept the Land Registry and this can be done after exchange/completion. Is there any reason the Land Registry would not accept copy of the lease ?
