We were just about to exchange contracts for a ground floor flat in Bromsgrove. We encountered a snag. The mortgage offer with Coventry Building Society expires on 21/12/2026 but the owners are putting forward a completion date of 23/12/2026. Can one prolong the loan expiry date?

I'm buying a new build house in Bromsgrove benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead.
