I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Allenton off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Aldermore. 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 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 Aldermore, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
I have a mortgage with HSBC for my property in Allenton. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform HSBC?
You must advise HSBC prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of HSBC’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let 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 HSBC directly. You need not do this via a HSBC conveyancing panel firm.
After what feels like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Allenton agreed to, the owners do however have a dependent purchase. The owners have placed an offer on somewhere, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Allenton. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Allenton conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is check that your solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Regarding the next steps this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their property lawyer to move forward with searches.

I am purchasing a new build house in Allenton with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about this deal as it will jeopardize my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
