I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Widnes off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Principality. 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. 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 Principality, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel.
I have recentlydiscovered that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Widnes for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I establish that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to check if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Widnes conveyancing specialists.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Widnes with a mortgage from National Westminster Bank. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about this deal as it could adversely affect my mortgage with National Westminster Bank. Is this normal?.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Widnes I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Widnes for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
