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 Belsize Park bank branch on various occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Belsize Park conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?

Your conveyancer has to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 specifications 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
