We are about to sign contracts for a freehold house in Ditchling. We encountered a stumbling block. The mortgage offer with Godiva Mortgages Ltd runs out on 22/9/2025 but the owners are insisting on a completion date of 24/9/2025. Can one prolong the mortgage expiry date?

I moved into my apartment on 6 August and the transaction details is yet to be registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Ditchling said it should be formalised in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Ditchling uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Ditchling registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any other parties. At present approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the purchaser has moved in to the property therefore 'speed' is not always an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
