We are about to exchange contracts for a garden flat in Bridlington. We encountered a snag. Our mortgage offer with Yorkshire Building Society expires on 22/4/2025 but the owners are insisting on a completion date of 24/4/2025. Can one extend the loan offer?

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Bridlington. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Bridlington?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Bridlington. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
I am due to move home in May. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Bridlington. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across this page.
On the day of completion you can collect the keys from your selling agent but this can only happen after the vendors solicitors inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. You can tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. We do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in Bridlington or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Bridlington.

Harry (my fiance) and I may need to rent out our Bridlington garden flat for a while due to a new job. We used a Bridlington conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Some leases for properties in Bridlington do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
Bridlington Leasehold Conveyancing - A selection of Questions you should ask Prior to buying

Its a good idea to find out as much as possible regarding the company managing the block as they will affect your use and enjoyment of the property. Being a leasehold owner you are often at the mercy of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to practical issues such as the cleanliness of the communal areas. Ask prospective neighbours what they think of them. Finally, be sure you know the dates that the maintenance fees are due to the appropriate party and specifically how they are spending the funds. The prefered form of lease arrangement is where the freehold title is in the ownership of the leaseholders. In this scenario the tenants have control and although a managing agent is frequently employed if the building is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent employed by the leaseholders. Are there any major works in the planning that could add a premium to the service fees?
My solicitors in Bridlington have advised me that no longer have my conveyancing file. At the time of my purchase I took out a mortgage with the bank. Is it case that being on the bank conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a number of years?
It very much depends from lender to lender but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the lender Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the mortgage company directly.
