We are about to exchange contracts for a semi detached house in Seaton Sluice. We have hit a stumbling block. The mortgage offer with Leeds Building Society expires on 22/4/2025 but the sellers are insisting on a completion date of 24/4/2025. Is it possible to prolong the loan expiry date?
The best person to deal with your question is your lawyer who is in a position to determine if he or she is should be discussing with the mortgage company, seller’s lawyers, selling agents or possibly all parties given the history of your house move to date.
What is the first thing I need to know concerning purchase conveyancing in Seaton Sluice?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Seaton Sluice or throughout Northumberland is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for friction between you and others involved in the house moving process. For instance, the seller, selling agent and on occasion your bank. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Seaton Sluice should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the process whose role it is to protect your legal interests and to protect you.
Sometimes a potential adversary will try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For example, the selling agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your solicitor is slow. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do take action that is against your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Seaton Sluice I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Seaton Sluice for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
