I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Speke off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Aldermore. Conveyancing is new to me. 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. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Aldermore, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
I have recentlybecome aware that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Speke for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I check that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to see if the property is in your name, you can carry out 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 Speke conveyancing specialists.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Speke I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Speke in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
I am using a search engine for the term on line conveyancing in Speke it shows results of many solicitorsin the vicinity. With so much choice what is the best way to find the right conveyancer for the sale of my house?

Charges for conveyancing in Speke differ, so it's advisable to secure at least three fee calculations from different law firms. Dont forget to clarify what costs in the quote includes.
