We are a couple about to sign contracts for a ground floor flat in Sturminster Newton. We encountered a snag. The mortgage offer with Skipton Building Society runs out on 25/7/2025 but the vendors are insisting on a completion date of 29/7/2025. Can one extend the loan offer?
The person best placed to address this question is your solicitors who should assess if he or she is better off negotiating with the mortgage broker, seller’s conveyancers, property agents or possibly all parties given what has happend in your house move to date.
Why do I have to pay up front for my conveyancing in Sturminster Newton?
If you are buying a property in Sturminster Newton your solicitor will request that you to provide them with funds to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Ordinarily this is called for to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. If any down payment is as part of the total price then this should be required shortly before contracts are exchanged. Any further balance that is needed should be transferred a couple of days prior to the completion date.
When it comes to lenders such as Coventry BS, do Sturminster Newton conveyancing practitioners have to pay a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Yorkshire BS. Sturminster Newton conveyancing practitioners have been appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Yorkshire BS?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Yorkshire BS done the valuation? Have you advised Yorkshire BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Kent Reliance. Is it usual for Kent Reliance to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Sturminster Newton is approved on their conveyancing panel? Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
