I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Willerby off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Barclays. 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 use one. Any advice?

I can not fathom if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Willerby bank branch on numerous occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Willerby conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend in accordance with their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
The solicitor must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two provisions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
