I can not fathom if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Reynoldston bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend.

Provided that the conveyancing practitioner is on the lender panel, she or he must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions for the bank.
