We were just about to exchange contracts for a garden flat in Comberton. We encountered a stumbling block. The loan offer with The Royal Bank of Scotland expires on 24/3/2025 but the sellers are insisting on a completion date of 26/3/2025. Is it possible to extend the mortgage expiry date?
The best person to address this question is your lawyer who should determine if they corresponding with the lender, owner’s conveyancers, estate agents or conceivably all three based on the history of your transaction to date.

It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Comberton took place. I have checked the Land Registry site 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 asset 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.
How does conveyancing in Comberton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Comberton contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in Comberton tend to acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Comberton or who has acted in the same development.
