I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Buckley off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Aldermore. 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. 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'm buying a new build house in Buckley with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not reveal to my lawyer about this side-deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.

The vast majority of residences in Buckley should be revealed. Have you endevoured to search to just the postcode. Usually it will mention all the premises within that postcode. Assuming the property is registered it will be there with a title number. If they bought back in the 60’s it's conceivable it may be unrecorded. The property may still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to find the original title documentation which could be with your parent’s lender.
