We were just about to sign contracts for a property in Bedwas. We encountered a problem. Our loan offer with Clydesdale runs out on 24/9/2026 but the owners are putting forward a completion date of 28/9/2026. Can one extend the mortgage offer?
The person best placed to deal with your question is your lawyer who will determine whether they better off negotiating with the mortgage broker, owner’s solicitors, property agents or conceivably all three based on the history of your transaction as of today.
My uncle passed away six months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Bedwas. The house had a small mortgage left on it of around £5k. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Clydesdale, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?
Given you intend to re-mortgage then Clydesdale will require that you use a conveyancer on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate. Your Clydesdale conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the Clydesdale mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.
I am intent on selling our home in Bedwas and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street Bedwas conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Bedwas. Having lived in Bedwas for six years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)

In my capacity as executor for the estate of my grandfather I am disposing of a house in Monmouth but reside in Bedwas. My conveyancer (based 300 miles awayhas requested that I sign a stat dec ahead of the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing lawyer in Bedwas to witness and place their company stamp on the document?
strictly speaking you should not need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or qualified solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are based in Bedwas
I bought a house in Bedwas last 26/6/2025 and to date it is still not recorded with the Land Registry. It was part of a new estate and my conveyancing practitioner told me that it can take twelve months to register. I have spoken with HM Land Registry directly and they say that the original application was cancelled due to failure to reply to requisitions. What can I do?
