We are a couple about to sign contracts for a leasehold flat in Hurstpierpoint. We encountered a stumbling block. Our mortgage offer with Virgin Money runs out on 11/8/2025 but the sellers are insisting on a completion date of 13/8/2025. Can one extend the loan expiry date?
The person best placed to address this concern is your conveyancer who will hopefully calculate whether they better off negotiating with the mortgage company, seller’s representatives, selling agents or possibly all three given the circumstances your house move as of today.
Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the HSBC Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Hurstpierpoint?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

The property agent will need to be advised as to your conveyancer's details (make sure the property lawyers are on the lender’s panel).
