It is unclear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Esher building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend.

The property lawyer has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ 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 left on the lease.

As of today approximately 80% of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration takes place once the buyer is living at the property so 'speed' is not typically an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
