I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Fortis Green off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with RBS. 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 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.

You are at liberty to select your own conveyancer. However, bear in mind that some lenders specify a panel list of lawyers you have to use for the lender related work in your home move.
