As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can help you find a conveyancing in Rumney or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Rumney.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Rumney off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Skipton. 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 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 Skipton, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel.

The primary upside of using a high street Rumney conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to sign documents, present your identification documents and pester them if necessary. Having local Rumney know how is a plus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have instructed your friend and they were content that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Rumney conveyancing lawyer just because they are round the corner.
