I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Wadebridge off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Coventry BS. Conveyancing is new to me. 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 Coventry BS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Wadebridge. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £175. Shortly after, the property lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Nottingham panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3).

You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.
