It is unclear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Pentre Halkyn building society branch on a couple of occasions and was advised it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Pentre Halkyn conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they will not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
As long as the conveyancing practitioner is on the mortgage company panel, she or he must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the bank.
