I am purchasing a terraced house in Tibshelf. Conveyancing solicitors are said to be ‘a necessary evil’ but can I do it myself?

I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Tibshelf. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in February. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in February. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be caught by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this provision primarily exists to pick up on subsales or the flipping of property.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Tibshelf. I have a mortgage offer with Yorkshire BS. 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 Yorkshire BS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
