I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Symonds Yat. I have a mortgage agreed with Nationwide. 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 Nationwide, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.

Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Symonds Yat. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?

Almost all lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.

I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Symonds Yat and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed an online conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Symonds Yat. We have lived in Symonds Yat for three years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Symonds Yat I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Symonds Yat for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
