My wife and I are downsizing from our house in Gamlingay and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Gamlingay conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used an online conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Gamlingay. Having lived in Gamlingay for six years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Gamlingay is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Gamlingay are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Gamlingay you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Gamlingay may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Gamlingay. Conveyancing and Clydesdale mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing solicitor in Gamlingay who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of HMLR to be sure that this person is in fact the new freeholder. There is no need to instruct a Gamlingay conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
