Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the house moving as a first time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Ardleigh Green. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Ardleigh Green?

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Ardleigh Green. I have a mortgage agreed with Principality. Conveyancing is new to me. 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 Principality, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel.

I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed flat in Ardleigh Green. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have recently received a yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the service charge as you normally would as all ground rent and service payments will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless 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.
After years of negotiations we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Ardleigh Green. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?

An example of a Lease Extension case for a Ardleigh Green property is 37 Lodge Court High Street in November 2013. the decision of the LVT was that the premium to be paid for the new lease was £25,559 This case was in relation to 1 flat. The unexpired term was 57.5 years.

The vast majority of premises in Ardleigh Green should appear. Have you attempted a search with simply the postcode. Ordinarily it will identify all the properties inside the postcode. Where recorded it will be there with a title number. Where they bought back in the 60’s it's conceivable it may be unrecorded. The address may still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to locate the original title documentation which might be with your parent’s bank.
