I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Alderley Edge. I have a mortgage offer with Aldermore. 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 use 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.

The owners have offered on a property, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Alderley Edge. What do I do now?

It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Alderley Edge conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Aldermore approved list. Concerning the next phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some purchasers would apply for a home loan with Aldermore and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their solicitor to proceed with searches.

I’m about to sell my garden apartment in Alderley Edge. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is pay the service charge as you normally would given that all ground rent and maintenance payments will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
