I can not work out if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Wolvey bank branch on various occasions and was informed it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Wolvey conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Your property lawyer must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 conditions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank 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.

I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Wolvey I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Wolvey in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
We're new to the buying process - agreed a price, but the estate agent advised that the seller will only move forward if we use the agent's preferred solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Wolvey
It is improbable the vendors are behind this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Wolvey conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give the estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by HQ.
