Our seller has just died, soon after we've exchanged contracts. Can we still buy the house and do we have to wait for probate to be issued?

My parents helped me to buy my small mews house but now my boyfriend wants to move in. Why do they want a formal agreement and should I set one up?

I want to buy a home with my girlfriend but already own half a flat. What can I do to make this process easier on my flatmate who won't want to move?

My wife and I are expecting twins and want to move into the house we've bought earlier than we originally agreed. How likely are we to be able to do this?

We are buying a leasehold flat and have to pay a service charge. Why then would there be a shortfall and who is expected to cover this?

My girlfriend and I live in a ground-floor flat with a leasehold and we'd like to extend our kitchen into the garden. Can we do this and do we need written consent from the freeholder first?

My brother and I are buying a property together to let out. Do we need to insure it before we complete on the contracts?

Our buyer isn't happy that we have no Building Regulations completion certificate for a loft conversion done by the previous owner. Why isn't indemnity insurance enough?

I own a house and now I want to transfer it formally into both my and my husband's names. 

Our neighbour's rowdy barbecues keep us up all night — what can we do?

My parents are separating and my father-in-law has asked if we can buy him somewhere to live. Could we get a buy-to-let mortgage in order to this?
