Given that you are now exchanged you must choose a conveyancing lawyer as a matter of urgency as you now have a tight a drop dead date to complete the property.

I have telephoned my Eastleigh building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Eastleigh conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend in accordance with their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Your lawyer must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two conditions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the TSB panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
