We were just about to sign contracts for a leasehold flat in Whalley Range. We encountered a stumbling block. Our mortgage offer with Nottingham Building Society expires on 5/1/2026 but the owners are putting forward a completion date of 7/1/2026. Is it possible to prolong the loan expiry date?
The best person to address this concern is your solicitors who will determine whether he or she is should be discussing with the mortgage broker, seller’s conveyancers, estate agents or indeed all three based on the history of your conveyancing to date.

How does conveyancing in Whalley Range differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Whalley Range come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Whalley Range tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Whalley Range or who has acted in the same development.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Whalley Range. Before diving in I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Whalley Range - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
