We were just about to exchange contracts for a ground floor flat in Dulwich. We have hit a stumbling block. Our mortgage offer with Halifax runs out on 9/6/2026 but the sellers are suggesting a completion date of 11/6/2026. Is it possible to extend the loan offer?
The best person to deal with your concern is your conveyancer who will hopefully assess if he or she is better off negotiating with the lender, owner’s representatives, selling agents or possibly all three based on the history of your transaction as of today.
It is is a decade since I purchased my house in Dulwich. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find my title documents. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Dulwich relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property can not be found. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Dulwich 5 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?
In today’s world there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should know exactly where to locate all the appropriate paperwork so you may purchase or sell your house without any difficulty. Where copies are not available, your lawyer can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against future claims on your property.
How does conveyancing in Dulwich differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Dulwich approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because house builders in Dulwich usually acquire the site, 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 Dulwich or who has acted in the same development.
