If you prohibit your lawyer to report the price change to TSB then they would have to discontinue acting for you.

I own a leasehold flat in Marple. Conveyancing was completed in 2010. I have read on a number of advice forums that I should not let the the remaining lease term to fall too low. Is this correct?
Marple residential long term leases are for a prescribed term - often ninety nine years when they started. However many flats in Marple were built or converted 25 or more years ago and so these leases now have fewer than 80 years left to run. This may sound like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders on the whole need leases to have at least seventy five years left to be mortgageable. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are approaching 75 years. To increase the saleability of your property you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. Furthermore significant benefits to taking action before the lease hits 80 years as when the lease falls below eighty years the amount you have to pay to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
