We were just about to exchange contracts for a freehold house in Strawberry Hill. We have hit a problem. Our mortgage offer with Bank of Ireland runs out on 19/1/2026 but the vendors are insisting on a completion date of 21/1/2026. Is it possible to extend the mortgage expiry date?
The best person to address this concern is your lawyer who is in a position to assess whether he or she is better off negotiating with the mortgage broker, vendor’s conveyancers, selling agents or indeed all three based on what has gone on in your transaction as of today.
Are the Strawberry Hill conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Leeds Building Society?
Strawberry Hill conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Leeds Building Society directly.
Are the BSA intent on creating a online directory to list firms on the Earl Shilton BS conveyancing panel for example in Strawberry Hill?
We are not aware of any intention on the part of the BSA to promote such a tool.

Have purchased a a detached house in Strawberry Hill , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Strawberry Hill conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the registration formalities are addressed.
As far as conveyancing in Strawberry Hill is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry have to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration occurs after the new owner is living at the premises therefore an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I opted to have a survey carried out on a property in Strawberry Hill before retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor advised that some lenders will not give a mortgage on a flying freehold house.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions from Halifax. If you contact us we can investigate further with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Strawberry Hill. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
