I have just been advised by my financial adviser that my Denbigh solicitor is not on the lender Conveyancing panel. How can I check?
You need to contact your Denbigh lawyer directly. You lawyer should advise you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a Denbigh conveyancing firm that is on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
At what point does exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Denbigh and do I need to be at the solicitors branch?
If you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Denbigh you are welcome to come in to sign the paperwork. However, the firms we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to officially exchange at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Denbigh)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
A friend recommended that if I am buying in Denbigh I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?
A search of this type is occasionally quoted for as part of the standard Denbigh conveyancing searches. It is not a small document of about 40 pages, listing and detailing important information about Denbigh around the property and the people living there. It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Denbigh Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Denbigh Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information concerning Denbigh.
The deeds to our property are lost. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Denbigh 10 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?
These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your solicitor will know exactly where to find all the relevant documentation so you may purchase or sell your property without any difficulty. Where duplicates are not available, your lawyer can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against future claims on the property.
How do I use your search app to select a conveyancing practitioner in Denbigh on the approved list for my lender?
1st pick a bank such as Yorkshire Building Society, Bank of Scotland or Barclays Direct then choose your location e.g. Denbigh. Conveyancing practices in Denbigh and nationally should be shown.
I own a leasehold flat in Denbigh. Conveyancing and Leeds Building Society mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1996. The conveyancing practitioner in Denbigh who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?
First make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to instruct a Denbigh conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

Best to be warned whether changing the roof or some other major work is due shortly to be shared between the leaseholders and will dramatically impact the level of the service fees or require a one time invoice. Plenty Denbigh leasehold apartments will be liable to pay a service charge for the upkeep of the block invoiced on behalf of the management company. Where you purchase the apartment you will have to meet this liability, normally quarterly throughout the year. This can differ from several hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for buildings with lifts and large common grounds. There will also be a ground rent to be met annual, this is usually not a significant amount, say approximately £25-£75 but you need to enquire as on occasion it can be many hundreds of pounds. Can you inform me if there are any major works in the planning that could add a premium to the maintenance charges?
