We are a couple about to sign contracts for a leasehold flat in Burghfield Common. We encountered a snag. Our loan offer with Platform Home Loans Ltd runs out on 12/11/2025 but the sellers are suggesting a completion date of 14/11/2025. Is it possible to extend the loan offer?

The person best placed to address this issue is your conveyancer who will determine whether they better off negotiating with the bank, owner’s representatives, estate agents or possibly all parties based on what has gone on in your conveyancing to date.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Burghfield Common registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently roughly three quarters of such applications are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the premises so an expedited registration is not typically primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
