We were just about to exchange contracts for a garden flat in Atherton. We encountered a stumbling block. The loan offer with Santander runs out on 2/3/2026 but the sellers are insisting on a completion date of 4/3/2026. Can one extend the loan offer?
The best person to address this question is your lawyer who is in a position to calculate if they corresponding with the lender, vendor’s representatives, estate agents or conceivably all parties based on the circumstances your conveyancing to date.

It has been 4 months following my purchase conveyancing in Atherton concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
About to purchase a new build flat in Atherton. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Atherton
-
The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
As co-executor for the estate of my grandfather I am disposing of a house in Neath but live in Atherton. My lawyer (based 235 miles awayrequires that I execute a statutory declaration prior to the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Atherton to attest this legal document for me?
strictly speaking you should not need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or qualified solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Atherton based
As a tenant I am on the hook for a service charge for my property in Atherton. Due to redundancy and personal issues I slipped behind with remittance. The management company agreed a settlement plan but there is still around £2000 due to be paid.
I now wish to sell and I am nervous that this can threaten to derail the sale if I have to discharge the amount due now. Do I have to settle before - is this possible?
Do speak with the lawyer undertaking your Atherton conveyancing but it might be possible to arrange for the outstanding amount to be transferred to the purchasers. The sale price payable would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they take on. They would then deal with the outstanding monies post completion of the purchase.
