I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Bromyard. I have a mortgage offer with Virgin Money. Conveyancing is new to me. 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.

My partner and I have today had a bid accepted on our first home in Bromyard, and need to get solicitors appointed. We have utilised the numerous rating tools and the quotes are from all over the the UK. Is it necessary to have a Bromyard conveyancing practitioner local to the prospective property? I am fine to do all the communicating electronically, but I assume at some stage we may need to visit the conveyancer's office to sign contracts?
The solicitor does not have to be in Bromyard, but opting for local means that you can visit their offices if required, by way of example, if a signature is needed urgently. In addition, a Bromyard solicitor is likely to be familiar with local agents and (if the vendor has chosen a local property lawyer) with them, which should help smooth the process.
