I can not work out if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called my Irthlingborough building society branch on a couple of occasions and was advised it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Irthlingborough conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the conveyancer is on the mortgage company panel, she or he must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
