We were just about to sign contracts for a semi detached house in Audlem. We encountered a stumbling block. The mortgage offer with Coventry Building Society runs out on 20/7/2026 but the vendors are insisting on a completion date of 22/7/2026. Can one extend the loan offer?

The deeds to my home can not be found. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Audlem 5 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?
As long as the title is registered the details of your proprietorship will be retained by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is possible to conduct a search at the Land Registry, locate your property and order up to date copies of the property title for a small fee. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for £20 inclusive of VAT.

We're FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the property agent has warned us that the owners will only move forward if we appoint the agent's chosen conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Audlem
We suspect that the owner is not behind this requirement. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Audlem conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthe ones that will give their estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by head office.
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement apartment in Audlem. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the maintenance contribution as you normally would given that all ground rent and service invoices will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
