We are about to sign contracts for a leasehold flat in Drybrook. We have hit a stumbling block. The mortgage offer with Nottingham Building Society expires on 2/9/2025 but the sellers are putting forward a completion date of 4/9/2025. Can one prolong the loan offer?

The person best placed to deal with your question is your lawyer who should calculate whether he or she is corresponding with the mortgage broker, seller’s conveyancers, selling agents or possibly all parties given what has gone on in your transaction as of today.

We were going to get a OIP from Bank of Ireland this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Bank of Ireland recommend any Drybrook solicitors on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Drybrook solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Bank of Ireland through the process.

After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Drybrook. My mortgage broker suggested a conveyancing practitioner. I paid an upfront payment of £150. A few days later, the lawyer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Santander conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Santander panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I need some quick conveyancing in Drybrook as I have a deadline to complete in less than one month. A home loan is not required. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?

If.Given you are are a cash buyer you have the choice not to have searches carried out although no conveyancer would recommend that you don't. With lots of history conveyancing in Drybrook the following are instances of what can appear and therefore affect future mortgageability: Enforcement Actions, Overdue Fees, Outstanding Grants, Unadopted Roads,...

Me and my brother purchased a 4 bedroom Georgian house in Drybrook. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Clydesdale. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Drybrook and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the position with your conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.

Given that I will soon spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on 3 bedroom house in Drybrook I would like to talk to a conveyancer about myhome move in advance of appointing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

This is something that we recommend - we would be delighted to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the lawyer due to be conducting your property ownership legalities in Drybrook.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is an important person, not a matter reference. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in Drybrook should be the figure that you end up paying.
