It is unclear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Ruislip Gardens building society branch on various occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Ruislip Gardens conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Provided that the conveyancing practitioner 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 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.

My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent has warned us that the vendor will only move forward if we use the agent's chosen conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Ruislip Gardens
