Remortgage is taking to long, What now?

Options
My current mortgage deal end next Friday. Eveyrhing is in Solitors hands  but because current madmess they seem  to be unable to complete by them.

What happens now? Should I be able to complete a week later and pay the variable fee with my current lander partially over a week or so? or now I have to pay the variable rate in full and wait a month?

    You, or your broker, could ask for the mortgage offer to be extended by a couple of weeks.

    Is this a remortgage ie you aren't moving home? or a new mortgage on a different home? Either way, your solicitor should be able to explain the reason for the delay.

    @mr_senor Ordinarily, you don't have to wait a month, you'll just end up paying the SVR for the period after 30 Sep until completion of the remortgage.
