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 Cambridge bank branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Cambridge conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
The conveyancer has to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 conditions for your bank. 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

Barclays will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or seller to book a time for the valuation to take place. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a fortnight to receive the mortgage offer. Barclays will issue the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Cambridge.
