We are about to exchange contracts for a ground floor flat in Gidea Park. We have hit a stumbling block. The loan offer with Birmingham Midshires runs out on 26/10/2026 but the vendors are suggesting a completion date of 28/10/2026. Is it possible to prolong the mortgage offer?
The best person to deal with your question is your conveyancer who will hopefully calculate whether he or she is corresponding with the mortgage company, vendor’s representatives, estate agents or possibly all three given what has gone on in your house move to date.
My fiance and I are hoping to buy a newly converted apartment in Gidea Park with a loan from Aldermore.We would like to retain our Gidea Park conveyancing lawyer but Aldermore informed us she’s not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Aldermore panel lawyer or keep our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The home loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers needs to be on the Aldermore approved list. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Aldermore

My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Gidea Park. Conveyancing and Chelsea Building Society mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing solicitor in Gidea Park who previously acted has long since retired. What should I do?
