Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Gamlingay. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Gamlingay?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Gamlingay. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Kent Reliance. Gamlingay conveyancing practitioners were selected. How long does it take for Kent Reliance to send the offer to the property lawyer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Kent Reliance completed the survey? Have you informed Kent Reliance as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
We were going to get a OIP from Co-operative this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Co-operative recommend any Gamlingay solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Gamlingay solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Co-operative through the process.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and found one near me in Gamlingay I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Gamlingay in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Gamlingay. Conveyancing and Bank of Scotland mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing practitioner in Gamlingay who acted for me is not around. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to incur the fees of a Gamlingay conveyancing firm to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
I inherited a ground floor flat in Gamlingay, conveyancing having been completed August 2010. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Similar properties in Gamlingay with a long lease are worth £195,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease expires on 21st October 2088
You have 62 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £17,100 and £19,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
