I am getting a mortgage with Halifax. I hope to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Broxbourne. Does the Halifax Solicitor panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Halifax approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
We are about to sign contracts for a freehold house in Broxbourne. We have hit a stumbling block. The mortgage offer with Yorkshire Building Society runs out on 6/2/2026 but the owners are suggesting a completion date of 10/2/2026. Is it possible to extend the mortgage expiry date?
The person best placed to deal with your concern is your lawyer who will hopefully calculate if he or she is corresponding with the mortgage broker, seller’s representatives, property agents or indeed all three taking into account what has gone on in your conveyancing to date.

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Broxbourne will order a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers invest in investigating accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Broxbourne.

How does conveyancing in Broxbourne differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Broxbourne come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because new home sellers in Broxbourne typically acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Broxbourne or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Broxbourne is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Broxbourne are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Broxbourne you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Broxbourne may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. 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 residence.
