We were just about to sign contracts for a semi detached house in Southmead. We encountered a snag. Our loan offer with National Westminster Bank expires on 11/1/2027 but the vendors are insisting on a completion date of 13/1/2027. Can one extend the mortgage expiry date?
The person best placed to deal with your issue is your lawyer who is in a position to calculate if they better off negotiating with the mortgage broker, vendor’s conveyancers, estate agents or indeed all three given what has gone on in your conveyancing to date.

My wife and I are in the throws of looking at apartments in Southmead and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a conveyancing practitioner in place at this stage? I am planning to take a mortgage with Lloyds.
You should start requesting conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the selling agent. As you are seeking a mortgage with Lloyds, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I have a mortgage with Skipton for my property in Southmead. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Skipton?
Skipton must be informed of your intention prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Skipton’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Skipton will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Skipton directly. You need not do this via a Skipton conveyancing panel lawyer.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Southmead is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Southmead are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Southmead you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Southmead may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
