As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Principality approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority.

It is not clear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Brinklow building society branch on various occasions and was advised it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Brinklow conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
The conveyancer has to follow the CML Handbook section two requirements 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
