We are about to sign contracts for a ground floor flat in Gomersal. We have hit a stumbling block. Our mortgage offer with Clydesdale runs out on 19/6/2026 but the owners are insisting on a completion date of 23/6/2026. Can one prolong the mortgage expiry date?
The person best placed to address this concern is your lawyer who will hopefully assess if they should be discussing with the mortgage broker, owner’s lawyers, property agents or indeed all parties taking into account what has gone on in your transaction as of today.
I used Action Conveyancing a few years ago for my conveyancing in Gomersal. Now, I need my documents but cannot find the solicitor. What do I do?

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Gomersal I like with a park and station nearby, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Gomersal in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

The primary upside of using a high street Gomersal conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to sign paperwork, present your identification documents and pester them if necessary. Having local Gomersal know how is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who instructed your friend and they were content that should surpass using an unknown Gomersal conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being local.
