It is true that some lenders now make use of the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander.

I simply don't know who is right.
Your solicitor has to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 specifications for your lender. 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
