We are downsizing from our house in Mold and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used an internet conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Mold. We have lived in Mold for 5 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)

Have completed on a a semi-detached house in Mold , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record my proprietorship? My Mold conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the land registry aspects are dealt with.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Mold registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry have to notify any interested parties. Currently in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the purchaser is living at the property thus registration formalities is not always an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

There are only 68 years unexpired on my flat in Mold. I now want to extend my lease but my freeholder is absent. What should I do?

If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you have made all reasonable attempts to locate the landlord. In some cases an enquiry agent should be helpful to conduct investigations and prepare an expert document to be used as proof that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is advisable to get professional help from a conveyancer both on devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Mold.

Leasehold Conveyancing in Mold - A selection of Queries before buying

Please note if it is fewer than 80 years it will affect the salability of the flat. Check with your bank that they are happy with remaining years on the lease. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will probably have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and it is worth discovering what this would cost. Remember, in most cases you will be required to have been the owner of the premises for a couple of years in order to be eligible to extend the lease. Make sure you investigate if the the lease includes any unreasonable restrictions in the lease. For example plenty of leases prohibit pets being permitted in certain buildings in Mold. If you love the flatin Mold yet your cat can’t make the move with you then you will be presented with a hard decision. This information is helpful as a) areas could cause problems in the block as the common areas may start to deteriorate if maintenance are not paid for b) if the leaseholders have a dispute with the managing agents you will want to have complete disclosure

How and when do I incur the Stamp Duty Land Tax due for my house transaction in Mold?

Your lawyer should fill out a stamp duty return on your behalf during your Mold purchase transaction for you to sign. On completion your property lawyer will submit the STL Return Form to the Tax Authorities and - assuming they have the funds - settle any land tax payable for you.
