I can not work out if my lender requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Locksbottom building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they will lend.

The solicitor must comply with the CML Handbook section two conditions for your 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.

How does conveyancing in Locksbottom differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Locksbottom come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because developers in Locksbottom usually acquire 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 Locksbottom or who has acted in the same development.
