I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Yarm. I have a mortgage offer with RBS. 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 RBS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel.
At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Yarm agreed to, the owners do however have an associated purchase. The vendors have placed an offer on a property, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Yarm. What do I do now? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Coventry BS?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Yarm conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should ensure that your conveyancer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Concerning the next steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of buyers would apply for a home loan with Coventry BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their solicitor to proceed with searches.

Our conveyancing solicitor in Yarm has informed me that he requires proof of ID documents asserting that this forms part of his requirements as a conveyancer on the lender Solicitor panel. Can you confirm whether this is the case?
Due to Money Laundering Regulations your conveyancing lawyer is duty bound to confirm positively your identification when entering into a business relationship with you. It is a criminal offence if your lawyer not do this. If you do not provide ID early in the transaction the solicitor must refuse to act for you. It’s unlikely a lawyer will turn you away if you come to the first meeting without relevant ID but you will have to produce it at some point so you might as well bring it with you to the initial meeting so the lawyer can tick the ID verification box and start sorting out the conveyancing straight away. If you are getting a mortgage, your lawyer also has to check ID documents to satisfy the lender. This is not unique to conveyancing in Yarm
