It is unclear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Bishops Cleeve building society branch on a couple of occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Bishops Cleeve conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
The property lawyer must comply with 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.
