I can not work out if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Wragby building society branch on various occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Wragby conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the solicitor is on the bank approved list, she or he must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the bank.
