I can not fathom if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local North Finchley bank branch on a couple of occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My North Finchley conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend based on their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Provided that the conveyancing practitioner is on the mortgage company panel, she or he must adhere to 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
