We're in Waterbeach, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Principality , and our lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

There are a variety of conveyancing solicitors in Waterbeach but how do I know who I should use?

Do not opt for the cheapest Waterbeach conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need.

My uncle pointed out to me me that in purchasing a property in Waterbeach there may be a number of restrictions preventing external changes to the property. Is this right?

We are aware of a number of properties in Waterbeach which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to perform external changes. Part of the conveyancing in Waterbeach should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.

We are buying a victorian detached house in Waterbeach. Our aim is to convert the garage to a playroom at the property.Will legal due diligence on the property involve enquiries to determine if these alterations are allowed?

Your conveyancer should check the deeds as conveyancing in Waterbeach will on occasion identify restrictions in the title deeds which prevent categories of alterations or need the consent of another owner. Many additions require local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be prudent to check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.

We are planning on selling our home in Waterbeach and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Waterbeach lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Waterbeach. Having lived in Waterbeach for three years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to check with 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 ailment)

Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared.

The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
