Yes you probably do need a solicitor or a qualified conveyancer.
While it is possible to do it yourself, it is not advisable unless you have a pretty good idea of what to do. The Consumer Association have produced a book on the subject. You can probably get hold of it at your local library.
Can I persuade you to buy a lovely 3 bedroom semi? Its been a wonderful family home to us, but the family have grown up and left.0 -
Yes just instruct your solicitor. I wouldn't recommend doing the transaction yourself as it's not the sort of transaction you want to slip up on.0
