Given that your lender is Yorkshire BS your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Yorkshire BS.

I can not work out if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Fir Vale and Wadsley Bridge building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Fir Vale and Wadsley Bridge conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
Your property lawyer has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 provisions 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

I have just started marketing my ground floor apartment in Fir Vale and Wadsley Bridge. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?
It best that you discharge the service charge as usual given that all rents and service payments should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
