I can not work out if my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Barrow In Furness bank branch on various occasions and was advised it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Barrow In Furness conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Your conveyancer must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two conditions for your lender.

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Nottingham are being pedantic. The Barrow In Furness solicitor who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Nottingham are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Nottingham have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

The reason why Nottingham may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
