It is not clear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Axmouth and Branscombe bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Axmouth and Branscombe conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they would not lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?

The 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

I purchased a 4 bedroom Edwardian house in Axmouth and Branscombe. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Clydesdale. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking Clydesdale to clarify?

You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3).

You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.
