It is not clear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Goffs Oak bank branch on various occasions and was advised it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Goffs Oak conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they would not lend based on their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 specifications for your bank. 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I'm buying my first flat in Goffs Oak with a loan from National Westminster Bank. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not inform my solicitor about the extras as it could impact my mortgage with National Westminster Bank. Is this normal?.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
