We are about to exchange contracts for a garden flat in Yeading. We encountered a problem. The mortgage offer with HSBC Bank expires on 11/8/2025 but the owners are insisting on a completion date of 13/8/2025. Can one prolong the mortgage offer?
The person best placed to address this concern is your conveyancer who should calculate if he or she is should be discussing with the mortgage broker, seller’s solicitors, selling agents or possibly all three based on what has gone on in your house move as of today.
At what point can the exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Yeading and do I need to be at the conveyancers branch?
If you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Yeading you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the law practices we recommend provide a countrywide conveyancing service and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the property agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the firm to address the formalities at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Yeading)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Yeading. Do I pick up the keys to the property on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Yeading?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be invited to collect the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
We had appointed conveyancers located in Yeading on the RBS solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a further amount for the legal aspects of the RBS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by RBS?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancer may charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by RBS but by your Yeading property lawyer. Some firms on the RBS panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Yorkshire BS. Yeading conveyancing lawyers have been instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Yorkshire BS?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Yorkshire BS completed the valuation? Have you advised Yorkshire BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
In my capacity as executor for the will of my uncle I am disposing of a property in Swansea but I am based in Yeading. My lawyer (based 250 kilometers from mehas requested that I sign a statutory declaration prior to completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Yeading to witness and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you are unlikely to be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or qualified solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are Yeading based
I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that seems to meet my requirements, at a great price which is making it more attractive. I have just found out that the title is leasehold as opposed to freehold. I am assuming that there are particular concerns purchasing a house with a leasehold title in Yeading. Conveyancing advisers have are about to be instructed. Will they explain the issues?
The majority of houses in Yeading are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor who is familiar with the area who can help the conveyancing process.

I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without getting anywhere. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such issues? Can you recommend a Yeading conveyancing firm to help?
You certainly can. We can put you in touch with a Yeading conveyancing firm who can help.
