It is not clear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Chulmleigh building society branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Chulmleigh conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend based on their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Provided that the lawyer is on the bank panel, they must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the lender. 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.

My partner and I may need to sub-let our Chulmleigh ground floor flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We used a Chulmleigh conveyancing firm in 2004 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Chulmleigh do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.

I am seeking to purchase a repression property in Chulmleigh and the mortgagee in possession require completion within 28 days. Can a lawyer complete in this timeframe? Am I best advised to use a high street Chulmleigh firm or an online company that advertises to complete quickly?
Attend your Chulmleigh high street. Go in to a couple of firms and ask to see a conveyancing solicitor for a quote. Discuss your situation and try and obtain assurances on time frames. Choose the firm that appears most genuine. You need to select a solicitor on the list of property lawyers who can act for your mortgage company.
