I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Flamborough. I have a mortgage offer with Nottingham. 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?

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 Nottingham, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
How does conveyancing in Flamborough differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Flamborough come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because new home sellers in Flamborough typically buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Flamborough or who has acted in the same development.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two maisonettes in Flamborough both have in the region of fifty years unexpired on the lease term. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
A lease is a right to use the property for a period of time. As a lease gets shorter the saleability of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more expensive to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is advisable to increase the term of the lease. More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage companies may be reluctant to lend money on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We advise that you get professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this area.
