Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Gamlingay

I am in the market for a low cost conveyancer. Do I opt for a national conveyancer or a local Gamlingay conveyancing lawyer?

Existing third party connections is an important consideration when choosing conveyancing lawyers. Gamlingay conveyancers often have long term relationships with lenders and estate, local authorities, surveyors and other law firms meaning the whole process is going to be much more straightforward for you. Hosting a sound intelligence of the local area is an advantage.

Last November we completed a house move in Gamlingay. We have since encountered a number of problems with the house which we consider were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Gamlingay?

The question is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are unique to conveyancing in Gamlingay. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken as part of the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner fills in a document referred to as a SPIF. If the information provided is inaccurate, then you may have a claim against the seller for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Gamlingay.

I moved into my home on 10 January and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Gamlingay advises it will be concluded in less than a month. Are properties in Gamlingay particularly slow to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Gamlingay registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. As of today approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration is effected after the new owner is living at the premises therefore an expedited registration is not usually top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I invested in buying a 1 bedroom flat in Gamlingay, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Similar flats in Gamlingay with a long lease are worth £260,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease ends on 21st October 2098

With just 74 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as legals.

The suggested premium range 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 comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
