We are about to sign contracts for a semi detached house in West Bridgford. We have hit a stumbling block. Our loan offer with Nationwide Building Society expires on 13/7/2026 but the vendors are suggesting a completion date of 15/7/2026. Is it possible to prolong the loan offer?
The person best placed to address this issue is your lawyer who will hopefully assess whether he or she is better off negotiating with the bank, owner’s lawyers, estate agents or indeed all parties based on the history of your transaction as of today.
Are the West Bridgford conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Yorkshire BS?

Me and my brother have a semi-detached Victorian house in West Bridgford. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and TSB. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking TSB to clarify?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in West Bridgford and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. West Bridgford is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in West Bridgford are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in West Bridgford you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in West Bridgford may ascertain 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.
My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the selling agent advised that the owners will only issue a contract if we instruct their recommended solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in West Bridgford
We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred West Bridgford conveyancing firm - as opposed tothe ones that will provide their estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing targets set by HQ.
