We were just about to sign contracts for a freehold house in Acklam. We have hit a snag. The loan offer with Birmingham Midshires expires on 10/12/2026 but the owners are suggesting a completion date of 14/12/2026. Is it possible to prolong the loan offer?

The Acklam conveyancing solicitors that I appointed last week on my purchase in Acklam have suddenly shut down. They were on acting for me because I needed a solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel and my family Acklam lawyer was not. I sent them a cheque for £250 in advance. What do I do now?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors should be in a position to assist.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Acklam is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Acklam are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
