We are about to sign contracts for a freehold house in Mile End. We have hit a snag. Our loan offer with Clydesdale runs out on 23/9/2021 but the vendors are insisting on a completion date of 27/9/2021. Is it possible to prolong the loan expiry date?
The best person to address this concern is your lawyer who should assess whether they better off negotiating with the bank, seller’s lawyers, selling agents or conceivably all parties given the circumstances your house move to date.
I am selling my home in Mile End. Will the conveyancer have to be required to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the HSBC conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently at the moment.
Have just purchased a probate house at auction in Mile End. Conveyancing is necessary. What happens now?

I am buying a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Mile End. We would like to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will the conveyancing process involve checks to ascertain if these works were previously refused?
Your solicitor will review the registered title as conveyancing in Mile End will sometimes reveal restrictions in the title documents which prevent categories of works or require the consent of another owner. Many extensions need local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be prudent to check these issues with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
I currently have a mortgage with Clydesdale for my property in Mile End. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Clydesdale?
You must advise Clydesdale in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Clydesdale’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Clydesdale will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Clydesdale directly. You need not do this via a Clydesdale conveyancing panel solicitor.
