All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly.

I can not work out if my lender requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Bourton on the Water bank branch on numerous occasions and was informed it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Bourton on the Water conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.

How does conveyancing in Bourton on the Water differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Bourton on the Water approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because builders in Bourton on the Water tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Bourton on the Water or who has acted in the same development.
