We were just about to sign contracts for a garden flat in Ludgershall. We encountered a snag. Our loan offer with Nationwide Building Society runs out on 4/2/2026 but the vendors are insisting on a completion date of 6/2/2026. Is it possible to extend the mortgage offer?

The best person to address this question is your lawyer who will assess if they should be discussing with the bank, seller’s lawyers, property agents or conceivably all parties given the history of your house move to date.

It has been 4 months following my purchase conveyancing in Ludgershall concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
