We were just about to sign contracts for a leasehold flat in Perivale. We encountered a stumbling block. Our loan offer with The Mortgage Works runs out on 9/12/2025 but the vendors are suggesting a completion date of 11/12/2025. Is it possible to prolong the mortgage expiry date?
The person best placed to deal with your question is your solicitors who should assess whether he or she is better off negotiating with the mortgage company, vendor’s conveyancers, selling agents or indeed all three given the circumstances your transaction to date.
When can the exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Perivale and do I need to be at the conveyancers office?
Where you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Perivale you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. However, the firms we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Perivale)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a first time buyer of a ground floor flat in Perivale. Do I receive the keys to the house on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Perivale?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Perivale. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's conveyancers, and once they have received this, you should be called to receive the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
My wife and I are at the point of looking at apartments in Perivale and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it advisable to have a conveyancer on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Yorkshire BS.
It would be sensible to instigate your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the estate agent. Given that you are seeking a mortgage with Yorkshire BS, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Virgin Money are being a right pain. The Perivale solicitor who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Virgin Money are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Virgin Money have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Virgin Money have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Virgin Money may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
