We are a couple about to sign contracts for a freehold house in The Hyde. We encountered a stumbling block. Our loan offer with Clydesdale runs out on 10/2/2026 but the vendors are insisting on a completion date of 12/2/2026. Can one extend the loan expiry date?
The best person to address this concern is your conveyancer who will hopefully calculate if they corresponding with the mortgage company, vendor’s conveyancers, property agents or possibly all parties based on what has gone on in your house move to date.

I am buying a new build house in The Hyde benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my lawyer about this deal as it could jeopardize my loan with The Royal Bank of Scotland. 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.
Taking into account that I will soon spend £400,000 on a terraced house in The Hyde I would like to talk to a lawyer concerning thehouse move before giving the go ahead to the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?
Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the lawyer who will be carrying out your conveyancing in The Hyde.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique individual, not a file number.

Should I choose a The Hyde conveyancing practitioner who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can handle the legal work however his firm is located approximately 350miles away.
The primary upside of using a high street The Hyde conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to sign paperwork, hand in your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local insight which is a plus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust instructed your friend and they were impressed that should trump using an unfamiliar The Hyde conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being The Hyde based.
