We are about to sign contracts for a leasehold flat in Braunton. We encountered a stumbling block. Our mortgage offer with Nottingham Building Society runs out on 5/1/2026 but the owners are putting forward a completion date of 7/1/2026. Is it possible to prolong the loan offer?
The best person to deal with your question is your conveyancer who should calculate whether he or she is should be discussing with the mortgage broker, vendor’s lawyers, property agents or possibly all parties based on the circumstances your house move as of today.
My husband and I are hoping to buy a purpose built flat in Braunton with a loan from Britannia.We have a Braunton conveyancing practitioner but Britannia advised that he's not listed on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Britannia panel solicitor or retain our local solicitor and pay for a Britannia panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Britannia use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers must be on the Britannia approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Britannia

Is it best to use a Braunton conveyancing practitioner who is local to the property I am buying? We have a good friend who can handle the legal formalities but her office is 400kilometers drive away.
The benefit of a local Braunton conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to execute documents, hand in your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. Having local Braunton know how is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and the majority were impressed that must surpass using an unfamiliar Braunton conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being round the corner.
