We are about to exchange contracts for a garden flat in Dartford. We encountered a stumbling block. The loan offer with Platform Home Loans Ltd expires on 21/10/2026 but the sellers are putting forward a completion date of 23/10/2026. Can one prolong the mortgage offer?
The person best placed to address this concern is your lawyer who will hopefully calculate if he or she is should be discussing with the bank, owner’s solicitors, selling agents or conceivably all three based on the history of your transaction as of today.
Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Dartford is more expensive?
In short, leasehold conveyancing in Dartford and elsewhere usually involve extra due diligence compared to freehold transactions. This includes reviewing the lease, corresponding with the landlord about serving required notices, procuring current service charge and management information, obtaining the freeholder’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – regardless of the fact the lease has passed through many different property solicitors hands since it was first granted.
We're in Dartford, First timers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Santander , and our solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no solicitor should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Dartford is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Dartford are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Dartford you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Dartford may decide 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.
Finally our conveyancing in Dartford is completing on Friday, however the sellers I am buying off has asked to move out 24 hours later at afternoon. Do I agree to such a plan?
