We are about to exchange contracts for a ground floor flat in Epsom and Ewell. We have hit a problem. Our mortgage offer with Santander runs out on 2/3/2026 but the vendors are insisting on a completion date of 4/3/2026. Can one extend the mortgage expiry date?

The best person to deal with your concern is your conveyancer who is in a position to calculate if he or she is corresponding with the lender, vendor’s lawyers, selling agents or indeed all three taking into account the circumstances your transaction to date.

five months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Epsom and Ewell concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I am buying my first flat in Epsom and Ewell with a loan from Leeds Building Society. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about this side-deal as it may adversely affect my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
