We are about to sign contracts for a leasehold flat in Shifnal. We encountered a problem. The mortgage offer with HSBC Bank expires on 4/3/2026 but the sellers are suggesting a completion date of 6/3/2026. Is it possible to extend the loan expiry date?

The person best placed to deal with your concern is your solicitors who should assess if he or she is corresponding with the lender, seller’s conveyancers, estate agents or possibly all three based on the history of your conveyancing as of today.

Are the Shifnal conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Bank of Ireland?

Shifnal conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Bank of Ireland directly.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the estate agent advised that the seller will only issue a contract if we appoint their chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor used to conveyancing in Shifnal

It is improbable the sellers are behind this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to use your preferred Shifnal conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will give the estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing targets pre-set by head office.
