We were just about to exchange contracts for a property in Dukinfield. We have hit a snag. The mortgage offer with Bank of Scotland expires on 6/8/2025 but the vendors are suggesting a completion date of 8/8/2025. Can one prolong the mortgage offer?

It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

How does conveyancing in Dukinfield differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Dukinfield come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because developers in Dukinfield usually buy 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 Dukinfield or who has acted in the same development.

Notwithstanding that your previous Dukinfield conveyancing lawyer is no longer available you can check your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the property. The accepted inference is that if the lease is silent, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you need to obtain consent via your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet without first obtaining permission. Such consent must not not be unreasonably withheld. If your lease prohibits you from letting out the property you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
