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 called my Alsager bank branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Alsager conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the lawyer is on the lender approved list, they must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the lender. 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
