We are a couple about to sign contracts for a property in Montpelier. We have hit a problem. Our mortgage offer with Coventry Building Society expires on 31/3/2025 but the vendors are suggesting a completion date of 2/4/2025. Is it possible to prolong the mortgage offer?
The person best placed to address this question is your lawyer who will hopefully determine whether he or she is corresponding with the mortgage company, owner’s lawyers, property agents or conceivably all three taking into account the history of your house move as of today.

We are downsizing from our home in Montpelier and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A high street Montpelier conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a nationwide conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Montpelier. Having lived in Montpelier for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
