Besides the price of the flat, there are property leaseholder fees (annual or monthly?) and council tax. Anything else? And how important is a solicitor and how much can I expect to pay for that service?

My sister has just bought a flat and got the solicitor for, and i hope your sat down, £3,500 and that was meant to be cheap! Don't forget the parking permit costs and the wheelie bin fines for putting it out too early or leaving it out too late ! She pays £1,500 a year maintenance costs ! Hope this helps.

Just don't buy a flat in London. There are other places in England you know.

You need to learn a lot to do it yourself. It's time consuming and you have to be well organised. You can get books on d.i.y. conveyancing, they also advise when its too complicated and you should use a professional.
