We were just about to sign contracts for a semi detached house in Hope Valley. We encountered a snag. Our mortgage offer with Chelsea Building Society expires on 11/3/2025 but the sellers are suggesting a completion date of 13/3/2025. Can one prolong the mortgage offer?
The person best placed to address this issue is your conveyancer who will assess whether they better off negotiating with the mortgage company, owner’s lawyers, selling agents or possibly all three given what has happend in your transaction as of today.
I am considering mortgaging my apartment in Hope Valley, does my lawyer have to be on the Virgin Money Solicitor panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel, but Virgin Money would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
