I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in North Walsham off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Leeds Building Society. 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?
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. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.
I completed on my home on 4 January and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in North Walsham said it should be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are titles in North Walsham uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in North Walsham registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. At present approximately 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration takes place once the buyer has moved in to the premises so 'speed' is not always an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial property in North Walsham and how can you help?

There are limited grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex.
