We were just about to exchange contracts for a freehold house in Lound. We encountered a snag. Our mortgage offer with Coventry Building Society expires on 16/10/2025 but the vendors are insisting on a completion date of 20/10/2025. Can one prolong the loan offer?

These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will be aware precisely where to look for all the relevant documentation so you may buy or sell your house without any difficulty.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Lound I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Lound suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months 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 speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

How does one remove a departed person's details from the title register for a property in Lound?
Where a Lound property is co-owned and one of the proprietors passes away, their name will not immediately be removed from the Land Registry title. You are not required to remove their name as in the event of a sale you would just be required to evidence why the joint owner is missing from the contract, such as a grant of probate.
With a view to making the sale conveyancing more straight forward for the sale of the property you may apply to have the deceased party erased from the title by applying to HMLR with evidence of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
