We were going to get a DIP from UBS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

You will need to appoint Mold solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the UBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and UBS through the process.
I can not work out if my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Mold bank branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend.

I have no idea who is right.

How does conveyancing in Mold differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Mold approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because developers in Mold typically purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Mold or who has acted in the same development.
