Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Gamlingay

I am helping my aunt sell her property in Gamlingay. Does the conveyancer order an EPC or it is for me to coordinate?

Following the demise of Home Information Packs, EPC’s was kept a mandatory part of selling a house. An EPC should be to hand before the property is marketed. It is not as aspect of the sale process that solicitors normally organise. If you are using a Gamlingay conveyancing practitioner they might be willing to arrange EPC’s given their relationships with long established local accredited person

I am purchasing a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Gamlingay. The intention is to convert the garage to a playroom at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve investigations to determine if these alterations are permitted?

Your property lawyer should check the registered title as conveyancing in Gamlingay will sometimes reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit certain works or need the permission of a 3rd party. Certain additions need local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.

I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Coventry BS are being pedantic. The Gamlingay solicitor who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Coventry BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Coventry BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Coventry BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Coventry BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Gamlingay and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Gamlingay lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed an internet conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Gamlingay. Having lived in Gamlingay for many years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get confirmation need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must 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 sickness)

It has been 2 months since my purchase conveyancing in Gamlingay completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I am downsizing from my property. My past lawyers has retired. I am in need of a recommendation of a conveyancing firm. I happen to live in Gamlingay if that makes things easier.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Gamlingay. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.

Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Gamlingay - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
