We are about to exchange contracts for a garden flat in Stanwick. We have hit a snag. The loan offer with Alliance & Leicester runs out on 1/5/2026 but the owners are insisting on a completion date of 6/5/2026. Can one extend the loan expiry date?
The best person to address this question is your lawyer who should determine whether they should be discussing with the lender, vendor’s representatives, selling agents or possibly all parties based on what has happend in your transaction as of today.

Can you help - my lawyer says that chancel insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Stanwick conveyancing?
The right level of chancel indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Santander and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
I am purchasing a property in Stanwick. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Lloyds have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Lloyds your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Lloyds. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Lloyds where a lease does not satisfy these provisions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Stanwick.
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 quick, chain free conveyancing. Stanwick is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Stanwick are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Stanwick you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Stanwick may ascertain 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 residence.

How easy is it to change a solicitor as I need to find a Stanwick based conveyancer who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. Is it practical to instruct different lawyers?
If you haven't yet appointed a conveyancer to start work and at this stage simply received an estimate as to costs, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Stanwick that you're considering.
