It is unclear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have called my Stilton bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Stilton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they will not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I have no idea who is right.
The solicitor has to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two conditions for your bank.
