I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Newcastle Emlyn off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Bank of Ireland. 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?

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Newcastle Emlyn I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Newcastle Emlyn for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
