I am in the process of buying a property, sale is agreed based on the agreement seller will extent the lease of the property. Seller's solicitor applied to land registry for lease extension, but there was a query from land registry. Is it possible to know whether seller's solicitor answered the query and Land registry strarted the lease extension process?

Binu - they responded to the request on 7th October but it was insufficient. They have submitted 'more' today and that reply will be considered by the casework team asap as the application is expedited.<br> NK547253 - provisional new title for lease

Could you please confirm whether the response received from the conveyancer on Friday has been reviewed by the casework team? If it has, was the response sufficient to proceed with the application, or are there any further queries that need to be addressed by the conveyancer before moving forward?
