We are a couple about to exchange contracts for a property in Selsdon. We have hit a problem. The loan offer with Britannia runs out on 20/7/2026 but the sellers are suggesting a completion date of 22/7/2026. Can one prolong the mortgage offer?

We are due to move property in June. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Selsdon. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your selling agent however this should only be done when the vendors conveyancers inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you can inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Selsdon or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Selsdon.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Aldermore. Is it usual for Aldermore to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Selsdon is approved on their conveyancing panel? Aldermore have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Aldermore to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Santander have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a apartment in Selsdon has been accepted, now what?
Your estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (make sure the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s panel). Contact Santander or the broker and complete any appropriate forms. Santander will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or vendor to book a slot for the valuation to take place. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Santander will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Selsdon.
I appreciate that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Am I compelled to have this when purchasing a property in Selsdon? or Apparently there is a law dating back centuries that could mean that owners of property residing in a parish church boundary may be liable to contribute towards repairs to the chancel within the church. Is this suitable for conveyancing in Selsdon?
Unless a previous purchase of the property took place post 12 October 2013 you can expect solicitors handling conveyancing in Selsdon to continue to advocate a chancel search and or chancel repair liability policy.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Selsdon with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about the extras as it could jeopardize my loan with Godiva Mortgages Ltd. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Some months ago I was informed by my lender that their panel conveyancers work on no completion no charge basis for conveyancing in Selsdon. My purchase fell through nevertheless the conveyancers want search fees! They say the fees are independent!
Selsdon conveyancing search fees are separate expenses not solicitors costs as these are paid to independent parties.
