We instructed a local lawyer for my conveyancing in Denbighshire today. Going through the terms of engagement I seewe are responsible for charges even where the transaction does not complete. Should I go with them or use an internet conveyancing company promoting no completion no charge conveyancing in Denbighshire?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to offset the transactions that do not proceed. Do bear in mind that these arrangements generally do not cover outlay such as Denbighshire conveyancing search fees.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Denbighshire last August yet the purchaser is telephoning daily to moan that his solicitor is waiting to hear from mysolicitor. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?
Following your disposal your conveyancer is obliged to deliver the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. Where relevant, your conveyancer must also send confirmation that the home loan has been paid off to the buyers solicitors. There are no post completion tasks specific conveyancing in Denbighshire.
I just acquired a property at auction in Denbighshire. Conveyancing is necessary. What is next?
Now that you have exchanged you should choose a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you now have a pending a fixed date to complete the transaction. An auction property will have a corresponding legal pack. This will likely include evidence of title and search results. If you have purchased leasehold premises the legal papers should provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation relating to leasehold premises. You need to pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor as soon as possible. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
The mortgage over my property is with Principality for my property in Denbighshire. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Principality?
You must advise Principality prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Principality’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Principality will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Principality directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Principality conveyancing panel solicitor.
Our sealed bid on a semi in Denbighshire has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on somewhere, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other properties booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Denbighshire. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with HSBC?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Denbighshire conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your property lawyer is on the HSBC approved list. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some purchasers would apply for the mortgage with HSBC and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their property lawyer to press on with searches.
Have purchased a a detached house in Denbighshire , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Denbighshire conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my ownership is registered.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Denbighshire registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any third persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration occurs once the buyer is living at the property thus 'speed' is not typically primary concern 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 the application to be prioritised.
I am purchasing my first flat in Denbighshire benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent advised me not inform my solicitor about the extras as it may put at risk my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Denbighshire is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Denbighshire are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Denbighshire you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Denbighshire may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
