We were just about to exchange contracts for a semi detached house in Enfield Lock. We encountered a stumbling block. Our loan offer with The Royal Bank of Scotland runs out on 16/3/2026 but the owners are suggesting a completion date of 18/3/2026. Is it possible to extend the loan expiry date?
The person best placed to deal with your issue is your conveyancer who should determine whether he or she is better off negotiating with the bank, vendor’s conveyancers, estate agents or indeed all three given what has gone on in your conveyancing as of today.

Me and my brother own a 4 bedroom Victorian house in Enfield Lock. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and HSBC Bank. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. Is it worth asking HSBC Bank to clarify?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Enfield Lock and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Enfield Lock is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Enfield Lock are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Enfield Lock you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Enfield Lock may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
