Mortgage offer expires 31st Aug

Options
Hello

Our buyers mortgage product expires 31st Aug but further up the chain said they can't/won't move until the 5th Aug.

We can move anytime. I have stressed to the solicitor that the move has to happen before the 31st but so far up the chain is refusing to budge.

Any advice on anything else I can do?

Thank You

    Ask your lender for a weeks extension.

    Most will do it.

    Which is a Sunday.

    Shouldn't be a problem to extend until Friday September 5th.

    They used Leek BS, who took forever to approve the mortgage in the first place.

    I think our buyers are keen to be in asap, so maybe this is why they are pushing the issue.

    Thanks all.

    That's fair enough. They need to understand that property chains need everybody to be in agreement to complete.
