We are a couple about to sign contracts for a freehold house in Trowbridge. We encountered a stumbling block. The mortgage offer with Platform Home Loans Ltd runs out on 24/11/2026 but the sellers are insisting on a completion date of 26/11/2026. Is it possible to prolong the mortgage offer?
The best person to deal with your issue is your conveyancer who will assess if he or she is corresponding with the bank, owner’s representatives, property agents or possibly all parties taking into account the history of your conveyancing to date.
Various web forums that I have visited warn that are the primary reason for stalling in Trowbridge conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the top 10 causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Trowbridge.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Trowbridge is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Trowbridge are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Trowbridge you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Trowbridge 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 property.

Finally our conveyancing in Trowbridge is set to complete next Friday, yet the owners I am buying from wants to vacate 24 hours later at midday. Can I agree to such a plan?
It is not possible to complete on a Saturday because the bank systems are not operational.
