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 Williton building society branch on numerous occasions and was informed it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Williton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they would not lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the conveyancing practitioner is on the mortgage company panel, she or he must follow the CML Handbook specifications 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.
