We were just about to exchange contracts for a leasehold flat in Harmondsworth. We have hit a snag. Our mortgage offer with Skipton Building Society expires on 3/2/2026 but the owners are insisting on a completion date of 5/2/2026. Is it possible to prolong the mortgage expiry date?
The person best placed to address this concern is your conveyancer who should calculate whether he or she is should be discussing with the lender, seller’s lawyers, estate agents or possibly all parties given the history of your transaction to date.

My wife and I have a terraced Edwardian house in Harmondsworth. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and National Westminster Bank. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Harmondsworth and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.
I am four weeks into a residential purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the estate agent to perform conveyancing in Harmondsworth. We are not happy. Could you help me find new solicitors?
A conveyancer would need to be really bad in order to consider replacing them. Has the mortgage offer been sent? In the event that it has you need to advise them of the replacement lawyer and have the mortgage documents are re-issued. Your new solicitor ideally needs to be on the banks approved list to avoid escalating charges and delays. That should be your first question of the new conveyancers.

I have been searching for Harmondsworth online conveyancing estimates. Can I be assured that all the Harmondsworth law firms that are listed on your website are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel?
The law firms on our directory have advised us that they are on the lender panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the bank panel. To date we have not been informed by either a mortgage company or a member of the public that the data about a specific Harmondsworth firm being on the bank conveyancing panel is incorrect.
