I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Abergele. I have a mortgage offer with HSBC. Conveyancing is new to me. 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.

I currently have a mortgage with Principality for my property in Abergele. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Principality?
You must advise Principality in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Principality’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Principality will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Principality directly. You need not do this via a Principality conveyancing panel lawyer.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers specialising in conveyancing in Abergele. Plenty of people will buy a house in Abergele, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded.

Conveyancers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a various searches that may be carried out by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Abergele. The conventional set of property information forms given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard question of the vendor to discover whether the property has historically flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the owner, then a buyer could commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an inaccurate response. A buyer’s solicitors may also order an environmental search. This should reveal whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations should be carried out.

Being a leasehold owner I am liable for a maintenance fee for my flat in Abergele. Due to redundancy and other issues I fell behind with payments. I negotiated a clearance plan but there is still a couple of outstanding at the current time.
I am under pressure to dispose of the property and I am worried this could hold me back if I have to settle the arrears first. Do I have to settle before - is this viable?
Do speak with the solicitor carrying out your Abergele conveyancing but one option could be to agree for the arrears to be transferred to the purchasers. The sale price payable would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They could then pay the arrears once they are the owners.
