I can not work out if my lender requires a lease extension. I have called my Harlesden bank branch on numerous occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Harlesden conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.
The conveyancer has to follow the CML Handbook section two conditions 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 left on the lease.

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Harlesden lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
