I can not fathom if 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 Sandbanks building society branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Sandbanks conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the conveyancing practitioner is on the lender panel, they must adhere to the CML Handbook requirements 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.

I was recommended by numerous property agents in Sandbanks to get a quote from a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers rather than a competitor’s?
We refuse to give any financial incentive for directing people in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
