We are a couple about to exchange contracts for a leasehold flat in Woolton. We have hit a snag. The loan offer with HSBC Bank expires on 12/8/2026 but the vendors are putting forward a completion date of 14/8/2026. Can one prolong the mortgage expiry date?

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Woolton I like with open areas and station nearby, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Woolton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan that many years may be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
