We were just about to sign contracts for a ground floor flat in Llanymynech. We encountered a problem. Our loan offer with Barclays runs out on 24/2/2025 but the owners are insisting on a completion date of 26/2/2025. Can one prolong the mortgage expiry date?

As someone clueless as to the Llanymynech conveyancing process what’s your top tip you can give me for the home moving process in Llanymynech
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Llanymynech or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for friction between you and others involved in the transaction. For example, the seller, selling agent and sometimes your mortgage company. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Llanymynech should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the legal process whose responsibility is to look after your legal interests and to keep you safe.
There is a definite ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone has to be at fault for the process taking so long. You must always trust your lawyer ahead of all other players in the home moving process.
My wife and I have a 4 bedroom Victorian house in Llanymynech. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Accord Mortgages Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. Is it worth asking Accord Mortgages Ltd to clarify?
You need to review 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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Llanymynech and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Llanymynech with the aim of speeding up the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Llanymynech can be bypassed if you appoint lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to put together the leasehold information needed by the buyers’ solicitors. Many landlords or Management Companies in Llanymynech levy fees for providing management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should find out the fee that they propose to charge. The management information can be applied for on or before finding a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The average time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most common cause of delay in leasehold conveyancing in Llanymynech. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Llanymynech leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord approving such works. Where you dont have the consents to hand do not contact the landlord without checking with your conveyancer in the first instance. If you have had any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved prior to the flat being put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be concerned about purchasing a property where there is a current dispute. You may need to swallow your pride and pay any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as historic as opposed to ongoing.

We have instructed a Llanymynech conveyancing solicitor for our home move (first time buyers) and have noticed in the Ts and Cs that they are not covered by the FCA. Should I be worried or is that standard with solicitor?
We can't see why they should be. Most solicitor don't lend money. You should check that they are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who dictate stringent stipulations in relation to amounts held in their bank.
