Almost all lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office.

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 telephoned my Pevensey Bay building society branch on numerous occasions and was advised it wasn't an issue and they would lend.

Who do I believe?
The property lawyer must follow the CML Handbook Part 2 requirements for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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.
