We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

As with many professional services, often referrals from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are many people with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders might all suggest lawyers to use. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there might be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to select your own lawyer. However, bear in mind that some lenders specify a panel list of lawyers you have to use for the lender aspect of your conveyancing.
