Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Nottingham. Swansea City conveyancing solicitors were selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Nottingham?

It is unclear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Swansea City bank branch on various occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Swansea City conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Provided that the conveyancing practitioner is on the lender approved list, they must adhere to 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.
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Swansea City.
