We are about to exchange contracts for a leasehold flat in Surrey. We have hit a stumbling block. Our loan offer with Chelsea Building Society runs out on 9/2/2026 but the vendors are suggesting a completion date of 11/2/2026. Can one extend the mortgage offer?
The person best placed to address this concern is your lawyer who is in a position to assess if he or she is corresponding with the mortgage broker, vendor’s conveyancers, estate agents or conceivably all parties taking into account the circumstances your conveyancing to date.

Taking into account that I will soon spend 450k on a two bedroom apartment in Surrey I wish to talk to a conveyancer about mytransaction before appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?
We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the lawyer who will be carrying out your conveyancing in Surrey.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important person, not a matter number. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in Surrey should be the figure that you are charged.
As co-executor for the will of my aunt I am disposing of a property in Cardiff but reside in Surrey. My solicitor (based 260 miles from mehas requested that I execute a statutory declaration ahead of the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Surrey who can attest this legal document for me?
strictly speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or qualified solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Surrey based
Whilst your website is a good idea there are many lawyers listed near Surrey being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a specific firm on the conveyancing panel for our bank?
We do not recommend specific Surrey firms as the right Surrey conveyancing firm for you depends on where your priorities lie. For example you may require a local firm with Surrey knowledge or you might be looking for the low cost conveyancing. Before you appoint your lawyer we advise you to speak to two or three of the the firms listed to gain comfort as to which one is right for you..
