I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Heckington 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 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 Aldermore, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Leeds Building Society. Is it usual for Leeds Building Society to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Heckington is approved on their conveyancing panel? Leeds Building Society have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Leeds Building Society to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Heckington is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Heckington are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Heckington you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Heckington may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
Am I better off to go with a Heckington conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am purchasing? We have a good friend who can perform the legal formalities however his firm is located 200miles away.
The benefit of a local Heckington conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to sign paperwork, deliver your ID and pester them if necessary. They will also have local intelligence which is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust used your friend and in the main were happy that must trump using an unknown Heckington conveyancing lawyer just because they are round the corner.
