We are about to sign contracts for a garden flat in Llanharan. We encountered a stumbling block. Our loan offer with Barnsley Building Society expires on 8/7/2024 but the vendors are insisting on a completion date of 10/7/2024. Can one extend the loan expiry date?

The person best placed to address this concern is your conveyancer who will assess whether they better off negotiating with the lender, vendor’s conveyancers, selling agents or indeed all three based on the history of your house move as of today.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Llanharan registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration is effected once the new owner is living at the property so post completion formalities is not usually primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

What makes a Llanharan lease defective?

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Llanharan. All leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can result in certain provisions are wrong. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

A provision for the recovery of money spent for the benefit of another party. Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall

You could have difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Yorkshire Building Society, Coventry Building Society, and Barclays Direct all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, obliging the buyer to withdraw.
