We are about to sign contracts for a ground floor flat in Normanton. We encountered a snag. The loan offer with Lloyds TSB Bank expires on 27/3/2026 but the owners are putting forward a completion date of 31/3/2026. Is it possible to prolong the loan expiry date?
The best person to address this issue is your solicitors who will hopefully determine if they should be discussing with the bank, seller’s representatives, property agents or indeed all parties taking into account the history of your conveyancing to date.
Do I need to pop into the offices of the solicitor to sign the mortgage deed? If so, I will appoint a lawyer who conducts conveyancing in Normanton so that I can attend their offices when needed.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Normanton I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Normanton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
