I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Bush Hill Park. I have a mortgage offer with Coventry BS. 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?

What makes a Bush Hill Park lease problematic?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Bush Hill Park. Most leases are individual and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain provisions are wrong. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
A duty to insure the building Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall
A defective lease will likely cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Lloyds TSB Bank, Coventry Building Society, and Britannia all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the buyer to pull out.
Should one remove a deceased person's name from the title deeds for a property in Bush Hill Park?
If a Bush Hill Park property is co-owned and one of the proprietors passes away, their name will not immediately be removed from the Land Registry title. It is not necessary to remove their name as in the event of a disposal you would just be required to evidence why the joint owner is not included in the transfer, ordinarily this is in the form of a grant of probate.
With the aim of making things simpler for the sale of the property you may apply to have the deceased person removed from the title by submitting an application to HMLR with proof of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
