My husband and I have arranged the release of further funds on our mortgage from Yorkshire BS as we want to conduct improvements to our home in Cannock. Are we obliged to appoint a bricks and mortar Cannock solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Cannock. I have a mortgage agreed with TSB. 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?

A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a period of time. As the lease gets shorter the value of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more costly to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is advisable to increase the term of the lease. It is often difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage companies may be unwilling to lend money on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We advise that you seek professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.
