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 my Addington bank branch on numerous occasions and was informed it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Addington conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Your property lawyer must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two conditions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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.
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Addington. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £175. A few days later, the conveyancer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Nottingham panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
