I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Widnes for our house move. Our financial adviser informed us that our mortgage company Barnsley Building Society won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?
Banks tend to imposes restrictions either the category or the amount of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they allow to represent them. You should note that Barnsley Building Society have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Barnsley Building Society Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there are differing opinions about the level of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms, including some in or near Widnes only conduct one or two conveyances per annum.
I am helping my aunt sell her flat in Widnes. Will the solicitor arrange an energy performance certificate or it is for me to coordinate?

I'm the only beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Widnes. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in September. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in September. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. Some banks would take a practical view as this requirement principally exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Widnes off the council. I have a mortgage offer with UBS. Conveyancing is new to me. 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. 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 UBS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the UBS conveyancing panel.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Widnes. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Widnes - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
