It is unclear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Bucklesham bank branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Bucklesham conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they will not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.

Your solicitor has to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two requirements for your 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.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Bucklesham I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Bucklesham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
