I can not fathom if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Manor Park bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Manor Park conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Your conveyancer must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two specifications for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank 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 am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Manor Park and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Manor Park conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Manor Park. We have lived in Manor Park for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
