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 my Paddock Wood bank branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Paddock Wood conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Provided that the lawyer is on the bank panel, she or he must follow the CML Handbook provisions for the lender. 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 left on the lease.

I am attracted to a two apartments in Paddock Wood which have in the region of fifty years left on the leases. should I be concerned?
A lease is a right to use the property for a period of time. As the lease shortens the saleability of the lease decreases and it becomes more costly to extend the lease. This is why it is often a good idea to increase the term of the lease. More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage companies may be unwilling to lend money on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We advise that you get professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.
