I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Kirkby. I have a mortgage agreed with Santander. 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.

I can not fathom 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 Kirkby building society branch on numerous occasions and was advised it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Kirkby conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?

Your solicitor has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two conditions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

Myself and my fiance have recently had an offer agreed on a apartment and had meeting on Monday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They warned me that when it comes to selecting a property lawyer that if they are not on their approved panel of lawyers then we will have to pay out an extra fee of £250+. This is because they will then have to appoint a conveyancer to act for them as well as the one we appoint for ourselves and we assume responsibility for their costs. I have requested Nationwide to send me with a list so I can seek quotes only from their approved lawyers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. What would be the best way of going about this?

Ask Nationwide what their criteria for panel membership is for a solicitor.Thereafter ask the solicitor of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on loans for Nationwide before. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with Nationwide. Alternatively please use our search tool and we may be able to locate a lawyer in Kirkby on the approved list for Nationwide.
