I can not work out if my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Wanborough building society branch on numerous occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Wanborough conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.

The property lawyer has to follow the CML Handbook Part 2 requirements 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.

My offer was accepted on a property in Wanborough on 26/9/2025, valuation was booked 2 days later, all came back fine. Property lawyer instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer.

Are RBS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for RBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the RBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Wanborough is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?

Frank (my husband) and I may need to sub-let our Wanborough 1st floor flat for a while due to a new job. We instructed a Wanborough conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?

Even though your last Wanborough conveyancing lawyer is not available you can review your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the property. The accepted inference is that if the lease is silent, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you are obliged to obtain consent via your landlord or other appropriate person in advance of subletting. This means that you cannot sublet without prior consent. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If the lease prohibits you from subletting the property you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
