I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Thurrock. I have a mortgage agreed with Virgin Money. 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?

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.

About to purchase house in Thurrock. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage".

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Thurrock lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.

Try to communicate with the owners directly and make sure they understand (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred Thurrock conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will earn their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by senior management.
