It is unclear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Stourbridge bank branch on various occasions and was informed it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Stourbridge conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Your lawyer has to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 requirements for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Stourbridge property lawyer having checked that they are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Nationwide will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nationwide will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Stourbridge surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

Contact Virgin Money or your financial adviser and finalise any outstanding documentation.

Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week to get a mortgage offer. Virgin Money will send the offer to you and your lawyers.

3 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Stourbridge took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I decided to have a survey done on a house in Stourbridge ahead of appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor advised that some banks may not give a mortgage on this type of property.
