I am the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Blackley. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in April. I want to move.

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 called into my local Blackley bank branch on a couple of occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Blackley conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they will not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
The property lawyer has to follow the CML Handbook Part 2 provisions for your 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 left on the lease.
