I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Shrivenham off the council. I have a mortgage offer with UBS. 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?

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.

I appreciate that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I need chancel insurance when purchasing a residence in Shrivenham? or Apparently there is a law dating back centuries that could mean that owners of property residing in a parish church boundary will be compelled to contribute towards repairs towards the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this applicable for conveyancing in Shrivenham?

Unless a prior acquisition of the house completed post 12 October 2013 you may take it that lawyers handling conveyancing in Shrivenham to continue to propose a a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.

Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for twenty pounds.

Should I be wary about estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending a national conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Shrivenham conveyancing firm?

As with lots of professional services, often recommendations from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are many players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders might all put forward solicitors to retain. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there may be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the right to select your preferred conveyancer. However, bear in mind that most mortgage providers specify a panel list of solicitors you must use for the lender related work in your conveyancing.
