TiN Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Not really answering your query mate - but why are you specifically needing a solicitor to get a shared ownership apartment? We were *this* close to getting a shared-ownership apartment in Bristol last year, but didn't bother going ahead with it cos the plots were crap. Unless you're trying to do something "special"?

Well, yeah, you *will* need to have a solicitor at some point, but not necessarily for helping you get the property in the first place. You'll need to get yourself registered with the local housing register(s) first though, and try to make yourself as down-trodden as possible, cos otherwise you'll be at the bottom of the list. Maybe borrow a kid when you visit the council office to register... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl114 Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 No need to borrow one as i have a daughter, lol.

JimmyJam75 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Hi sl114.. we're in the process of selling a shared ownership property and know all about the joys of being in a share-ownership.. basically, how much longer everything takes! I can't recommend our solicitor enough - they've been very pro-active and given top advice on our case. They're local to me though, so not sure how this'll work out for you in terms of location. Check out http://www.fosterharrington.co.uk or PM me if you require any other details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 When I bought my house I was barely there. I got a financial advisor (big sisters friend) to sort everything out and my dads buisiness solicitor. He doesn't really do many houses but he was magic and offered to bill the company instead of me too! I declined... I just put their heads together and was there to sign on my 22nd Birthday. Although I had to beg my boss to be home as he wanted me in Abu dhabi that week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
