I am selling our home in Gamlingay and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using an online conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Gamlingay. We have lived in Gamlingay for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of 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 health insurance to cover that same illness)
I purchased a renovated Edwardian property in Gamlingay. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Leeds Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Gamlingay and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
How does conveyancing in Gamlingay differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Gamlingay come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because new home sellers in Gamlingay tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Gamlingay or who has acted in the same development.
I was recommended by three or four local estate agents in Gamlingay to get a quote from a solicitor using your seach tool. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to recommend your services over alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to offer any referral fee for directing people our way. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
Been searching for a solicitor for freehold sale conveyancing in Gamlingay. We are selling, uncomplicated no mortgage to redeem, no hurry, currently empty. Had a quote from a lawyer for nine hundred pounds plus VAT which is a tad high considering its so straightforward. Can I pay less for conveyancing in Gamlingay?
As it’s a sale only, £450 + VAT should be about the lowest for a Gamlingay solicitor firm.
