Now that you have for all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you should find a conveyancing solicitor soon as you are facing a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the purchase.

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 Pewsey bank branch on various occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Pewsey conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the lawyer is on the mortgage company approved list, they must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
