I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in New Ferry off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Aldermore. 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?

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.

If copies are not available, your conveyancer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against future claims on the property.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in New Ferry. Before I get started I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in New Ferry - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
