We were just about to sign contracts for a semi detached house in Talsarnau. We have hit a stumbling block. Our loan offer with Clydesdale expires on 8/4/2026 but the owners are putting forward a completion date of 10/4/2026. Can one prolong the mortgage expiry date?

Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Talsarnau. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
Having read lots of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Talsarnau solicitor - who is on the TSB conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
TSB will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually TSB will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancing practitioner will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Talsarnau postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with TSB, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Talsarnau.
Our sealed bid on a house in Talsarnau has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have placed an offer on a property, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Talsarnau. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with UBS going?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Talsarnau conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should check that your solicitor is on the UBS approved list. Regarding the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many purchasers would apply for the mortgage with UBS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Talsarnau.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Talsarnau is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Talsarnau are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Talsarnau you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Talsarnau may determine 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.
I'm remortgaging my existing property to a BTL loan with Platform Home Loans Ltd and I will use the ballance of the raised equity as a down payment on further property. The area we are interested in is Talsarnau. Will your lawyers be able to act for both sets of banks and tie in the two deals?

I work for a reputable estate agency in Talsarnau where we have witnessed a few leasehold sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received conflicting advice from local Talsarnau conveyancing solicitors. Please can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can initiate the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
