We were just about to exchange contracts for a semi detached house in Wootton Bridge. We encountered a snag. Our loan offer with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society runs out on 28/10/2025 but the owners are suggesting a completion date of 30/10/2025. Is it possible to prolong the mortgage offer?
The best person to address this issue is your conveyancer who should assess whether he or she is corresponding with the bank, vendor’s conveyancers, estate agents or possibly all three taking into account what has happend in your transaction to date.

I can see plenty of here concerning conveyancing in Wootton Bridge but can you isolate your top tip for appointing the right conveyancer in Wootton Bridge
Do not opt for the cheapest Wootton Bridge conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Wootton Bridge. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
I have finally had an offer on a maisonette in Wootton Bridge agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a flat, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Wootton Bridge. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Co-operative going?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Wootton Bridge conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should check that your property lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent stages this very much depends on the specifics of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market the majority of home buyers will apply for a home loan with Co-operative and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their lawyer to proceed with searches.
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Wootton Bridge and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Wootton Bridge lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a factory type conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Wootton Bridge. Having lived in Wootton Bridge for three years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Wootton Bridge. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
