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 Hitchin building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Hitchin conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they will not lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
The lawyer has to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two conditions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank 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.
