It is unclear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called my Waolstenholme building society branch on numerous occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Waolstenholme conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Your solicitor has to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 specifications for your lender. 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.
My wife and I are planning on selling our property in Waolstenholme and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any high street Waolstenholme conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Waolstenholme. We have lived in Waolstenholme for many years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything.

I am purchasing a new build house in Waolstenholme with a loan from Barclays . The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead.
