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.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed apartment in Lacock.Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed however I have just had a half-yearly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you pay the service charge as normal as all ground rent and maintenance invoices will be apportionedas part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process
