We were just about to sign contracts for a leasehold flat in Litherland. We have hit a problem. The mortgage offer with TSB runs out on 21/6/2024 but the owners are suggesting a completion date of 25/6/2024. Can one extend the loan expiry date?
The best person to deal with your question is your conveyancer who will determine whether he or she is corresponding with the mortgage company, owner’s representatives, estate agents or conceivably all three based on the history of your house move to date.
Does a directory service exist listing Co-operative panel solicitors in Litherland on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?
No. There is no such directory service on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites.

I am expecting a AIP from Virgin Money this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Virgin Money recommend any Litherland solicitors on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Litherland solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Virgin Money through the process.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Litherland off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Clydesdale. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Clydesdale, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.
Just bought a detached house in Litherland , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Litherland conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check the registration formalities are addressed.
As far as conveyancing in Litherland is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of such applications are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration takes place once the purchaser is living at the property thus 'speed' is not usually an essential issue but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
