We are a couple about to sign contracts for a leasehold flat in Romford. We have hit a snag. The mortgage offer with Halifax expires on 6/8/2025 but the sellers are suggesting a completion date of 8/8/2025. Can one prolong the loan offer?

The person best placed to deal with your concern is your lawyer who is in a position to calculate whether they should be discussing with the mortgage broker, owner’s solicitors, estate agents or indeed all parties given the circumstances your transaction as of today.

I am planning to move house in August. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Romford. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across this page.

On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from your estate agent however this should only be done after the previous owners solicitors inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be given over. Subsequently you will need to tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Romford or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Romford.

I can not work out if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Romford bank branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Romford conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?

Your property lawyer must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 requirements for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

Planning on purchasing a apartment in Romford. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Romford conveyancer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
