I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Coedpoeth off the council. 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?

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.

I can not work out if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Coedpoeth bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Coedpoeth conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they will not lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the property lawyer is on the bank panel, they must follow the CML Handbook requirements for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

This will enable the lease to be extended by the magistrate. However, you will be required to prove that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to track down the landlord.
