We were just about to sign contracts for a semi detached house in Castleton. We encountered a snag. The mortgage offer with Aldermore runs out on 13/4/2026 but the owners are suggesting a completion date of 15/4/2026. Is it possible to extend the loan offer?
The best person to address this concern is your conveyancer who will hopefully determine whether he or she is corresponding with the lender, vendor’s conveyancers, property agents or indeed all parties taking into account the circumstances your house move to date.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Castleton is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Castleton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Castleton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Castleton may ascertain 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 premises.
Taking into account that I will soon spend 450k on a two bedroom apartment in Castleton I would like to talk to a lawyer concerning thetransaction before instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?
This is something that we recommend - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the conveyancer due to be conducting your conveyancing in Castleton.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important individual, not a matter reference. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are calculated and presented to you for residential conveyancing in Castleton should be the figure that you end up paying.
My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Castleton. Conveyancing and Santander mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1996. The conveyancing solicitor in Castleton who previously acted has long since retired. Do I pay?
The first thing you should do is contact the Land Registry to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. There is no need to instruct a Castleton conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
