We are about to sign contracts for a property in Gorton. We have hit a problem. The mortgage offer with Birmingham Midshires expires on 27/7/2026 but the owners are suggesting a completion date of 29/7/2026. Is it possible to prolong the mortgage expiry date?
The person best placed to address this concern is your conveyancer who is in a position to determine whether he or she is should be discussing with the mortgage broker, seller’s representatives, selling agents or conceivably all parties given the circumstances your house move to date.
Various online forums that I have come across warn that are a common reason for delay in Gorton house deals. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the top 10 causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Gorton.
I am buying a new build apartment in Gorton. Conveyancing is necessary evil 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 legal work.
Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Gorton
-
Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Please supply a car parking plan. 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.
I decided to have a survey carried out on a property in Gorton prior to appointing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor has said that some lenders may refuse to grant a loan on this type of property.
It depends who your proposed lender is. HSBC has different instructions for example to Nationwide. If you e-mail us we can investigate further via the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Gorton. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent advised that the owners will only move forward if we use their chosen solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Gorton
We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is counter productive. Contact the vendors directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred Gorton conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will earn the estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by HQ.
