When it comes to conveyancing in Bollington obtaining recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer.

My fiancee and I are spending time looking at flats in Bollington and I am about to put in an offer. Is it advisable to have my lawyer on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a home loan with Nottingham.
It would be sensible to instigate your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the estate agent. Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Nottingham, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I can not fathom if my lender requires a lease extension. I have called my Bollington building society branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Bollington conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Provided that the conveyancing practitioner is on the lender panel, they must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the lender. 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
