We were just about to exchange contracts for a freehold house in Iver. We have hit a stumbling block. Our loan offer with Santander runs out on 24/7/2026 but the sellers are insisting on a completion date of 28/7/2026. Is it possible to prolong the loan expiry date?

My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Iver. I I am struggling to find out if they are accepted on the HSBC Bank approved list of lawyers. Could you assist?
The first thing to do is call the solicitor and enquire if they are on the lender panel. Alternatively you should call HSBC Bank who may be able to confirm.
I have justbeen informed that Stirling Law have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Iver for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I check that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Iver conveyancing specialists.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Iver I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Iver suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

The primary upside of using a local Iver conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to execute documents, deliver your ID and pester them if necessary. Having local Iver know how is a bonus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have instructed your friend and the majority were impressed that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Iver conveyancing solicitor just because they are round the corner.
