We are a couple about to sign contracts for a semi detached house in Llansamlet. We have hit a snag. Our mortgage offer with Leeds Building Society expires on 18/9/2026 but the vendors are putting forward a completion date of 22/9/2026. Is it possible to extend the loan expiry date?
The person best placed to address this issue is your solicitors who will determine whether they should be discussing with the mortgage company, vendor’s conveyancers, selling agents or possibly all parties taking into account what has gone on in your conveyancing to date.
We are planning to move house in September. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Llansamlet. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen prior to coming across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your property agent but this should only occur when the sellers lawyers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. Subsequently you can inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. We do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Llansamlet or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Llansamlet.

My husband and I are spending time viewing apartments in Llansamlet and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a solicitor appointed at this point? I will be getting a mortgage with Virgin Money.
It would be sensible to commence your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the selling agent. As you are getting a mortgage with Virgin Money, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Llansamlet is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Llansamlet are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Llansamlet you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Llansamlet may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
