We are about to sign contracts for a property in Pelsall. We encountered a snag. Our mortgage offer with Coventry Building Society expires on 9/9/2026 but the owners are suggesting a completion date of 11/9/2026. Is it possible to extend the mortgage offer?
The best person to deal with your concern is your solicitors who will determine if they corresponding with the mortgage broker, vendor’s lawyers, selling agents or conceivably all three based on the history of your conveyancing to date.
My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Pelsall. I I am struggling to find out whether they are accepted on the Halifax conveyancing panel. Can you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
The first thing to do is call the lawyer and ask them whether they are on the lender panel. Alternatively you should get in touch with Halifax who may be able to help.
I am planning to move house in September. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Pelsall. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across your site.
On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from your property agent however this can only take place when the previous owners solicitors inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be handed over. Subsequently you should advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you choose a conveyancing in Pelsall or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Pelsall.
I am purchasing a detached bungalow in Pelsall. The intention is to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve checks to see if these works are allowed?
Your property lawyer will check the registered title as conveyancing in Pelsall will on occasion identify restrictions in the title deeds which restrict categories of alterations or need the permission of another owner. Certain extensions call for local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be prudent to check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Principality are being difficult. The Pelsall solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Principality are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
My colleague advised me that if I am purchasing in Pelsall I should ask my conveyancer to execute a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information regarding Pelsall.

My work colleague mentioned that when choosing a conveyancing lawyer they must be approved by your lender. I am novice purchaser but I have an AIP from Halifax and I already have a high street conveyancing lawyer in Pelsall lined up. Will Santander insist on an approved conveyancer to be used? If so, where can I find that list for my conveyancing in Pelsall?
You need to use a solicitor that is on the Santander panel. Just ring your preferred Pelsall conveyancing solicitor and ask if they are on the Santander panel. If they are not on the panel you have a number of choices available to you here:
- Proceed with your existing Pelsall conveyancer but Santander will need to instruct a conveyancing practitioner on their approved panel. This will result in additional fees together with potential interruption.
- Choose a fresh conveyancing practitioner to act in the purchase, making sure they are on the Santander conveyancing panel.
- Convince your conveyancer to pull out all the stops to get accepted on the Santander conveyancing panel.
