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 telephoned my Pevensey building society branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Pevensey conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Provided that the conveyancer is on the mortgage company panel, she or he must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Pevensey conveyancing practitioner is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
