I can not work out if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Partington building society branch on numerous occasions and was informed it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Partington conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
Your solicitor has to follow the CML Handbook Part 2 requirements for your 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 remaining.
