Is conveyancing in Denbighshire slower when buying a leasehold property?

There are two main types of property tenure in Wales: leasehold and freehold. Leaseholders own a property only, not the land it stands, which remains in the ownership of the landowner or freeholder. The land is then leased to the property owner, usually on a long-term basis that can last for decades and even centuries. Buying a leasehold property can occasionally be complicated because of the lease. For properties of this type in Denbighshire, conveyancing may take a little longer. Read more about buying leasehold in our detailed guide. When you instruct a Denbighshire conveyancing solicitor through Homeward Legal, they will request a leasehold information pack from the freeholder as part of the transaction process.
