We decided to go with a local firm for my conveyancing in Mold recently. After carefully reading the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatI am responsible for costs even where the transaction does not complete. Should I go with them or use a web based solicitor practice advertising no completion no cost conveyancing in Mold?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to counteract the conveyances that do not go ahead. Dont forget that such offerings rarely cover expenditure such your Mold conveyancing search costs.
My wife and I purchasing a detached bungalow in Mold. We would like to convert the garage to an office at the property.Will the conveyancing process include enquiries to determine if these alterations were previously refused?
Your property lawyer will check the deeds as conveyancing in Mold can occasionally identify restrictions in the title documents which prevent certain changes or need the permission of another owner. Some additions require local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be sensible to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
I'm in the throws of viewing houses in Mold and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I will be getting a mortgage with Principality.
It would be sensible to start your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the EA. As you are getting a mortgage with Principality, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Principality conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Mold on 28/4/2025, valuation was booked 4 days after, all came back fine. Conveyancer retained, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Lloyds and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Are Lloyds entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Lloyds to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Mold is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Mold are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Mold you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Mold may ascertain 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.
What advice can you give us when it comes to finding a Mold conveyancing firm to deal with our lease extension?
If you are instructing a property lawyer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Mold conveyancing practice) it is essential that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We advise that you talk with two or three firms including non Mold conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions might be of use:
-
What volume of lease extensions have they conducted in Mold in the last twenty four months?

The best form of lease structure is where the freehold interest is owned by the leaseholders. In this situation the lessees have being in charge if their destiny and even though a managing agent is often retained if the building is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. Best to be warned if changing the roof or some other significant cost is due in the near future to be shared between the leasehold owners and will dramatically impact the level of the maintenance fees or require a one off payment. What is the length of the lease?
We are expecting to complete buying a property in Mold but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have agreed recompense from the seller of £3k in the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but the lender will not agree to this. Should they have been involved?
Your conveyancing practitioner that is on a lender conveyancing panel is obliged to inform the mortgage company of any variations to the sale amount. If you were to refuse your property lawyer to report the price change to your lender then they would have no choice but to discontinue acting for you and the mortgage company.
