Who is the client here, us or the lender?

It is not clear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called my Mexborough and Swinton building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Mexborough and Swinton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the conveyancer is on the mortgage company approved list, she or he must follow the CML Handbook specifications for the 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
