If that were true you'd have no choice as to conveyancers, HSBC tried it a few years ago. They said the buyers has to use their firm of conveyance, it lasted just over a torturous yearCurrently studying for a Diploma - wish me luck

Now your solicitor has the contract pack they should check the same and raise enquires. You should get sent the majority of the paperwork too, for you to raise any questions you have.
The Contract pack may not include the leasehold information pack which the freeholder/management company provides.
fair enough, though given that the years left were on the lender valuation, I am assuming they were aware when they offered me the mortgage?

The information pack isn't about the actual lease document itself I'm afraid. It goes over my head unfortunately but normally includes statements, annual forecast.....
Personally I think it's just a way for the freeholder to make more moneyCurrently studying for a Diploma - wish me luck
