I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Frodsham off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Nottingham. 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?

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. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Nottingham, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.

I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Yorkshire BS are being problematic. The Frodsham solicitor who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Yorkshire BS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Yorkshire BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Yorkshire BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Yorkshire BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

As is the case with lots of professional services, often referrals from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. But there are lots of people with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and banks might all recommend lawyers to select. Sometimes these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there exists a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to select your preferred conveyancer. However, bear in mind that the majority of banks have an approved list of lawyers you are obliged to use for the mortgage related work in your conveyancing.

    Where a Frodsham lease has fewer than eighty years it will have adverse implications on the marketability of the apartment. Check with your mortgage company that they are willing to lend given the lease term. A short lease means that you will most likely have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of what this will be.
