I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Hackenthorpe. I have a mortgage offer with Skipton. 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?
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.

After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Hackenthorpe accepted, the vendors do however have an associated purchase. The vendors have offered on a flat, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Hackenthorpe. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Hackenthorpe conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their lawyer to press on with searches.
How does conveyancing in Hackenthorpe differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Hackenthorpe come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because house builders in Hackenthorpe usually purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Hackenthorpe or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Hackenthorpe I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hackenthorpe for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
