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 telephoned my Treuddyn building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend.

Who do I believe?
As long as the lawyer is on the mortgage company panel, she or he must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the lender.

Me and my fiance are expecting to complete buying a house in Treuddyn but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have negotiated reparation from the seller of five thousand pounds by way of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet the lender will not permit this. Should they have been notified?
The conveyancer being on the bank approved list is duty bound to inform the mortgage company of any changes to the sale price.
