It is unclear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Woodhouse and Handsworth building society branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Woodhouse and Handsworth conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend based on their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Provided that the lawyer is on the lender panel, she or he must follow the CML Handbook specifications for the bank.

We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
