I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in South Woodford. I have a mortgage offer with Co-operative. 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. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Co-operative, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.

I am buying a property and the solicitor has raised the issue of Chancel Repair for which the house may be obligated to pay because it falls into the area of such a church. She has recommended insurance. Is this really necessary for conveyancing in South Woodford

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one close by in South Woodford I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in South Woodford suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
