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

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.

I have justdiscovered that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Harton for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I check that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?

The easiest method to check if the premises is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Harton conveyancing specialists.

My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, but the estate agent advised that the seller will only proceed if we use the agent's preferred solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Harton

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this demand. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to appoint your preferred Harton conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing targets demanded by head office.

Back In 2004, I bought a leasehold flat in Harton. Conveyancing and Yorkshire Building Society mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the freehold. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing practitioner in Harton who previously acted has now retired. Any advice?

First contact HMLR to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. You do not need to incur the fees of a Harton conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for £3. You should note that in any event, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

    You should be aware if it is fewer than 80 years it will impact the salability of the flat. Check with your lender that they are content with remaining years on the lease. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely need a lease extension sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of what this will be. For most Hartonlease extensions you will need to own the property for a couple of years before you are eligible to extend the lease. Is anyone aware of any major works in the planning that could increase the service costs? This question is useful as a) areas may result in problems for the building as the common areas may start to deteriorate if repairs are not paid for b) if the leasehold owners have an issue with the managing agents you will want to know about it
