I acquired my flat on 3 September and my personal details is not yet registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Denbigh said it will be recorded in less than a month. Are titles in Denbigh particularly slow to register?

As far as conveyancing in Denbigh is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. At present approximately 80% of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration takes place once the purchaser is living at the property therefore registration formalities is not always top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Denbigh I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Denbigh for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

I was advised by numerous estate agents in Denbigh to find a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to market your lawyers ahead of another?

We refuse to offer any referral fee for sending work in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

In relation to leasehold conveyancing in Denbigh what are the most common lease problems?

Leasehold conveyancing in Denbigh is not unique. Most leases are individual and legal mistakes in the legal wording can result in certain sections are missing. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:

    A provision for the recovery of money spent for the benefit of another party. Repairing obligations to or maintain elements of the building

You will have a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Halifax, Skipton Building Society, and Alliance & Leicester all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to grant the mortgage, forcing the buyer to pull out.

Leasehold Conveyancing in Denbigh - Examples of Questions you should consider Prior to buying

    Best to be warned if window replacement or some other major work is due in the near future to be shared amongst the leasehold owners and could well materially increase the the service fees or require a one time payment. Are there any major works in the planning that will likely add a premium to the service costs? Many Denbigh leasehold properties will have a service bill for maintenance of the block invoiced on behalf of the freeholder. Where you buy the apartment you will have to pay this liability, normally periodically during the year. This can differ from a few hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for bigger purpose-built blocks. In all likelihood there will be a rentcharge for you to pay yearly, normally this is not a significant figure, say approximately £25-£75 but you need to check as sometimes it could be many hundreds of pounds.
