I can not work out if my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Tooting building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Tooting conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
As long as the conveyancer is on the mortgage company approved list, they must adhere to the CML Handbook conditions for the 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by TSB. Is it usual for TSB to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Tooting is approved on their conveyancing panel? TSB have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for TSB to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the TSB conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
