We are a couple about to sign contracts for a garden flat in Worcester Park. We have hit a problem. Our mortgage offer with Alliance & Leicester expires on 10/11/2025 but the owners are insisting on a completion date of 12/11/2025. Can one prolong the loan expiry date?

The person best placed to deal with your question is your lawyer who will calculate whether he or she is should be discussing with the mortgage company, vendor’s lawyers, selling agents or conceivably all three given what has happend in your house move as of today.

Have purchased a a terraced house in Worcester Park , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record my title? My Worcester Park conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my ownership is recorded.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Worcester Park registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. As of today in the region of 80% of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration is effected after the new owner is living at the property so registration formalities is not always primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and found one near me in Worcester Park I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Worcester Park in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
