I can not work out if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Machen building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Machen conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they would not lend based on their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
As long as the conveyancing practitioner is on the mortgage company panel, she or he must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the bank. 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

A buyer’s lawyers may also order an enviro report. This will reveal if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be conducted.
