I can not work out if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Dalston bank branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Dalston conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they would not lend in accordance with their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
The solicitor must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 conditions for your lender. 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
Intending to buy a house in Dalston. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage".

How does conveyancing in Dalston differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Dalston contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because new home sellers in Dalston typically buy the site, 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 Dalston or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Dalston I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Dalston for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
