It is unclear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Sharnbrook building society branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend.

As long as the lawyer is on the bank panel, they must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the bank.

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.
