We are about to sign contracts for a property in Goodmayes. We encountered a problem. The loan offer with Platform Home Loans Ltd runs out on 8/9/2026 but the vendors are putting forward a completion date of 10/9/2026. Is it possible to prolong the mortgage expiry date?
The best person to address this concern is your lawyer who should assess whether he or she is should be discussing with the lender, vendor’s representatives, property agents or conceivably all three based on what has gone on in your transaction to date.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Goodmayes is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Goodmayes are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Goodmayes you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Goodmayes 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 premises.
Taking into account that I am about to spend 450k on a two bedroom apartment in Goodmayes I wish to have a conversation with the conveyancer regarding thetransaction prior to giving the go ahead to the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?
We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the conveyancer due to be doing your property ownership legalities in Goodmayes.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique person, not a file number. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are calculated and presented to you for residential conveyancing in Goodmayes should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.
