Finding 1
Finance Approval Timing
Worth Clarifying

Why it matters

Possible real-world consequence
May create stress or extra cost if finance is delayed, conditional or not approved in time.
Suggested action
Discuss finance timing with your solicitor and confirm whether the approval date, lender wording and extension rights match your loan process.

Suggested action
Discuss whether 30 days is realistic for your lender and whether an extension should be requested
