We were just about to exchange contracts for a property in Wickersley. We have hit a stumbling block. Our loan offer with Alliance & Leicester expires on 14/7/2025 but the vendors are insisting on a completion date of 16/7/2025. Is it possible to prolong the loan offer?
The best person to address this issue is your lawyer who is in a position to determine whether they better off negotiating with the lender, owner’s solicitors, selling agents or conceivably all three taking into account the history of your transaction as of today.

I purchased my apartment on 4 May and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Wickersley expressed confidence that it should be concluded in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Wickersley particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Wickersley registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any third persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the buyer is living at the property therefore registration formalities is not always primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Wickersley I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wickersley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
Am I best advised to appoint a Wickersley conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am purchasing? We have a good friend who can carry out the legal work however her office is a couple of hundredmiles drive away.
The benefit of a local Wickersley conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to sign paperwork, hand in your identification documents and pester them if necessary. Having local Wickersley know how is a benefit. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have used your friend and in the main were content that must surpass using an unknown Wickersley conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being local.
