We are a couple about to sign contracts for a leasehold flat in Willingham. We encountered a stumbling block. The mortgage offer with TSB expires on 5/1/2027 but the sellers are suggesting a completion date of 7/1/2027. Is it possible to prolong the mortgage expiry date?

Do banks and building societies provide you with an approved list of Willingham conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel?

What does a local search inform me concerning the property I am buying in Willingham?
Willingham conveyancing often commences with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company such as PSG The local search plays an important part in many a Willingham conveyancing purchase; as long as you don’t want any unpleasant once you have moved into your property.

My wife and I own a semi-detached Edwardian house in Willingham. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Barclays Direct. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to assess 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Willingham and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Willingham with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent told me not to tell my lawyer about this deal as it would put at risk my loan with Barclays . Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the UK Finance website. UK Finance form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
We have appointed a Willingham conveyancing solicitor for our house purchase (novice purchasers) and have picked up in the terms and conditions that they are not covered by the FCA. Should I be concerned or is that usually the case with conveyancer?
We can't see why they should be. Most lawyer don't lend money. You should check that they are regulated by the SRA, who set specific obligations regulating amounts held in their bank.
