The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Nunhead. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office.

I can not fathom if my lender requires a lease extension. I have called my Nunhead building society branch on numerous occasions and was informed it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Nunhead conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they would not lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the property lawyer is on the lender panel, she or he must follow the CML Handbook specifications for the 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
