It is unclear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Goodmayes bank branch on various occasions and was informed it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Goodmayes conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the conveyancer is on the bank panel, she or he must follow the CML Handbook requirements for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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.
