It is not clear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Honiton bank branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Honiton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Provided that the solicitor is on the lender panel, she or he must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the lender. 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.
