We are a couple about to sign contracts for a freehold house in Hawes. We encountered a snag. Our mortgage offer with Platform Home Loans Ltd expires on 12/1/2026 but the owners are suggesting a completion date of 14/1/2026. Can one prolong the mortgage offer?

I have been told that property searches are the main reason for hinderance in Hawes house deals. Is there any truth in this?

It has been 4 months following my purchase conveyancing in Hawes concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Hawes prior to appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor advised that some banks may not give a loan on a flying freehold property.
