We are about to exchange contracts for a ground floor flat in Gurnard. We have hit a stumbling block. The mortgage offer with Nottingham Building Society runs out on 28/7/2026 but the sellers are putting forward a completion date of 30/7/2026. Can one extend the loan expiry date?
The person best placed to deal with your concern is your conveyancer who is in a position to determine whether they should be discussing with the mortgage broker, seller’s lawyers, estate agents or possibly all three based on the history of your transaction as of today.
I am due to move home in July. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Gurnard. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from your estate agent however this should only take place when the previous owners conveyancers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. After that you should inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you find a conveyancing in Gurnard or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Gurnard.
I can not work out if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Gurnard bank branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Gurnard conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.
The lawyer has to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 conditions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Santander are being difficult. The Gurnard solicitor who is on the Santander conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Santander are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Santander have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Santander have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Santander may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
