We are about to sign contracts for a garden flat in Battlesbridge. We have hit a problem. Our mortgage offer with Britannia runs out on 18/2/2025 but the sellers are insisting on a completion date of 20/2/2025. Is it possible to prolong the mortgage expiry date?

The person best placed to address this concern is your conveyancer who will assess whether he or she is corresponding with the mortgage broker, vendor’s representatives, property agents or conceivably all parties based on what has gone on in your transaction to date.

We are planning to buy with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. We have called around locally but am unable to find a Battlesbridge conveyancing firm on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society approved list. Could you help?

I'm buying my first flat in Battlesbridge with a mortgage from Santander. The sellers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not to tell my lawyer about the deal as it may jeopardize my mortgage 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.

Me and my husband have agreed a price on a Battlesbridge ground floor flat left to us seven years ago in 2011. I have over a decades worth of conveyancing experience and, although retired, see no reason not to undertake my own legal work. The purchaser's lawyer has informed me that their bank will not allow us to do our own conveyancing requiring the funds to be sent to a solicitor's bank account.

Lending requirements to conveyancers from all CML members specify that If the seller does not have legal representation the borrower's lawyers should check whether the mortgage company needs to be told so that a decision can be made as to whether or not they are willing to progress.
