I have called my Stamford Bridge bank branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Stamford Bridge conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.

As long as the lawyer is on the mortgage company approved list, they must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the bank.
