I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Basingstoke. I have a mortgage agreed with Bank of Ireland. 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?

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Basingstoke I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Basingstoke suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account.

An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

I was pointed in your direction by a few estate agents in Basingstoke to choose a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to recommend your services ahead of another?

Is it best to go with a Basingstoke conveyancing lawyer based in the vicinity that I am purchasing? We have a good friend who can perform the legal formalities but her office is 200miles drive away.

Having local Basingstoke know how is a benefit. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust instructed your friend and in the main were impressed that must trump using an unknown Basingstoke conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being local.
