We are about to sign contracts for a garden flat in Normanton. We encountered a stumbling block. The mortgage offer with TSB expires on 18/2/2025 but the sellers are insisting on a completion date of 20/2/2025. Can one extend the mortgage expiry date?
The person best placed to deal with your issue is your lawyer who will determine whether he or she is corresponding with the mortgage broker, owner’s solicitors, estate agents or indeed all three given what has happend in your house move as of today.
The Normanton conveyancing firm that I appointed last week on my purchase in Normanton have suddenly shut down. They were on acting for me because I needed a lawyer on the Aldermore conveyancing panel and my preferred Normanton lawyer was not. I wrote them a cheque for £250 in advance. What should be my next steps?
If you have an estate agent involved then let them know immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors should be in a position to help.

I have just started marketing my ground floor flat in Normanton.Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed but I have just received a yearly service charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is clear the maintenance contribution as normal as all rents and maintenance payments should be apportionedon completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially
