I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Malton off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Nottingham. 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 Nottingham, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.

The property agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the property lawyers are on the lender’s panel). Call up Aldermore or the broker and finalise any appropriate paperwork. Aldermore will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or seller to schedule a slot for the valuation to occur. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Aldermore will send the offer to you and your property lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Malton.
It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Malton took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
