When does exchange of contracts take place for purchase conveyancing in Denbigh and am I required to be at the lawyers branch?
If you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Denbigh you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the firms we work with supply a nationwide conveyancing service and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The executing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the firm to address the formalities when the time is right, 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 the mix, 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.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Denbigh with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about the side-deal as it may jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
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.

I work for a busy estate agency in Denbigh where we have witnessed a few leasehold sales put at risk as a result of short leases. I have been given conflicting advice from local Denbigh conveyancing firms. Please can you shed some light as to whether the seller of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer can avoid having to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
I bought a basement flat in Denbigh, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2010. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Denbigh with an extended lease are worth £197,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 yearly. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2079
With just 54 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £32,300 and £37,400 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
