We are a couple about to sign contracts for a property in Writtle. We encountered a problem. The mortgage offer with Skipton Building Society runs out on 4/12/2025 but the owners are putting forward a completion date of 8/12/2025. Is it possible to extend the loan expiry date?
The person best placed to address this issue is your solicitors who will hopefully calculate if they better off negotiating with the mortgage company, seller’s lawyers, selling agents or conceivably all parties given the history of your house move as of today.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home can not be found. The solicitors who dealt with the conveyancing in Writtle 4 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?
You no longer need to hold title original deeds to evidence that you are the owner of your registered land or property, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
I'm remortgaging my primary property to a BTL loan with Bank of Ireland and I will use the rest of the raised equity towards a second property. The neighborhood we are talking about is Writtle. Will your solicitors be able to act for both sets of banks and link together the conveyances?
Make use of our comparison tool on this page to be sure that the conveyancers are approved by both lenders. Having checked that they are the lawyer will be able to tie up the two transactions but you should have a chat with you solicitor and make clear your desired outcome and needs.
My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the agent has warned us that the owners will only proceed if we instruct their chosen lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Writtle
It is highly unlikely the owners are driving this. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to appoint your own,trusted Writtle conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn the estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.
What are my options where I am unhappy with the lawyer who handled our conveyancing in Writtle?
We live in an imperfect world, and is is a fact of life that every so often things do go wrong. However there is recourse if you were unhappy with your conveyancing in Writtle. This varies from trying to resolve matters directly with them, through to reporting a solicitor to their governing body. If things still aren’t sorted out you may consider enlisting the help of the Legal Ombudsman.
