We were just about to sign contracts for a leasehold flat in Seaforth. We encountered a snag. The loan offer with Nottingham Building Society expires on 24/8/2026 but the sellers are insisting on a completion date of 26/8/2026. Is it possible to prolong the loan offer?
The best person to address this issue is your lawyer who should assess if he or she is better off negotiating with the lender, owner’s conveyancers, selling agents or possibly all parties given the history of your conveyancing to date.
Do conveyancers ask for an advanced payment when it comes to conveyancing in Seaforth?

Most conveyancing panel lawyers for mortgage companies conduct all of the communications via the post, internet or over phone calls.

Should one as executor remove a deceased person's name from the title register for a property in Seaforth?
Where a Seaforth property is co-owned and one of the proprietors passes away, their name will not automatically be removed from the title deeds. You are not required to remove their name as in the event of a sale you would just need to evidence why the other owner is missing from the conveyance, such as the probate documents.
With a view to making things smoother for the sale of the property you may apply to have the deceased party removed from the title entries by submitting an application to HM Land Registry with evidence of the death. There is no fee from the Registry for this service.
