My husband and I are at the point of looking at apartments in Bodelwyddan and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a conveyancing practitioner in place at this point? I will be getting a mortgage with Leeds Building Society.

After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the selling agent. Given that you are seeking a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

I can not work out if my lender requires a lease extension. I have called my Bodelwyddan bank branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Bodelwyddan conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they would not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?

Your 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 left on the lease.
