We were just about to sign contracts for a freehold house in Barnsley. We have hit a problem. Our loan offer with Barclays runs out on 29/12/2025 but the owners are suggesting a completion date of 31/12/2025. Is it possible to extend the mortgage expiry date?
The best person to address this issue is your solicitors who is in a position to determine if he or she is better off negotiating with the mortgage broker, seller’s representatives, selling agents or possibly all parties taking into account the circumstances your house move as of today.

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Barnsley. Conveyancing is necessary evil 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 conveyancing.
Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Barnsley
-
Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Barnsley I like with open areas and station nearby, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Barnsley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
Taking into account that I am about to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on a garden flat in Barnsley I wish to have a conversation with the conveyancer concerning thehome move before instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

Do lenders provide you with an approved list of Barnsley solicitors? How do you know who is on the bank conveyancing panel?
