I can not work out if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Streetly bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Streetly conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend based on their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.

Your conveyancer must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two conditions for your 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.
