Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Stowmarket

We were just about to sign contracts for a property in Stowmarket. We encountered a problem. Our loan offer with Virgin Money expires on 1/5/2026 but the sellers are insisting on a completion date of 6/5/2026. Is it possible to prolong the mortgage offer?

The best person to deal with your question is your lawyer who will determine if they better off negotiating with the bank, vendor’s lawyers, selling agents or conceivably all parties based on what has happend in your conveyancing as of today.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Clydesdale Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Stowmarket?

First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
