We are a couple about to sign contracts for a leasehold flat in Haywards Heath. We have hit a snag. The mortgage offer with Platform Home Loans Ltd expires on 18/11/2026 but the vendors are insisting on a completion date of 20/11/2026. Is it possible to prolong the mortgage offer?
The person best placed to address this question is your lawyer who is in a position to calculate if they better off negotiating with the mortgage broker, seller’s conveyancers, property agents or conceivably all parties based on what has happend in your transaction to date.
My lender has recommended solicitors on their panel based in Haywards Heath but I would rather choose a conveyancing lawyer in Haywards Heath local to me. Are you able to assist?

My wife and I are intent on selling our home in Haywards Heath and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Haywards Heath conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Haywards Heath. We have lived in Haywards Heath for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
Me and my brother purchased a semi-detached Victorian property in Haywards Heath. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and National Westminster Bank. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Haywards Heath and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
I have been pointed in your direction by a few property agents in Haywards Heath to locate a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to promote your services over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t make any referral fee for directing people to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
As co-executor for the estate of my father I am disposing of a house in Newport but I am based in Haywards Heath. My lawyer (approximately 260 kilometers from mehas requested that I sign a statutory declaration ahead of the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Haywards Heath who can attest this legal document for me?
strictly speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Haywards Heath based
