I can not fathom if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Netherne building society branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Netherne conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I have no idea who is right.
As long as the solicitor is on the lender approved list, she or he must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the 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.

It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Netherne conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the RBS approved list. Regarding the next phase this very much depends on the specifics of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market many buyers would apply for the mortgage with RBS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their property lawyer to press on with searches.

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the invoice as normal given that all ground rent and maintenance invoices should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date.
