I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Burton Bradstock. I have a mortgage agreed with Clydesdale. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Clydesdale, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Burton Bradstock I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Burton Bradstock in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

What if there is a problem with one of the searches for my conveyancing in Burton Bradstock?

On the whole, the majority of issues revealed in Burton Bradstock conveyancing search responses can be handled in advance of completion or title insurance can be taken. You should note that even though you are acquiring the premises and might be willing to live with the search results, your building society or bank may not, and ultimately have the final decision.
