I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Barlaston and Tittensor. I have a mortgage offer with Coventry BS. 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?

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Barlaston and Tittensor registration formalities.
