We were going to get a OIP from Nottingham this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Nottingham recommend any Cookham solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Cookham solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nottingham through the process.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Cookham off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Virgin Money. 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 Virgin Money, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.

My sealed bid on a house in Cookham has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have put an offer on somewhere, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Cookham. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Skipton going?

It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Cookham conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must check that your property lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent steps this very much depends on the specifics of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market some purchasers will apply for a home loan with Skipton and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to press on with the conveyancing in Cookham.

The deeds to my house can not be found. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Cookham 4 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?

These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will be aware precisely where to look for all the relevant paperwork so you may buy or sell your house without any difficulty. Where duplicates can’t be located, your lawyer can put in place insurance or indemnities against possible claims on your property.
