We know of a few auction lawyers we can connect you with those who can conduct auction conveyancing. Bruton is just one of our locations in which our lawyers have offices.

Following your disposal your solicitor is obliged to send the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. Where relevant, your conveyancer must also evidence that the home loan has been discharged to the purchasers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion tasks specific conveyancing in Bruton.

Is it the case that all Bruton solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?

As solicitors, in order to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the SRA. Some banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the practice would be regulated by the CLC.

I have paid off my mortgage with Barclays. I assume I don't need a Bruton conveyancer on the Barclays panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Barclays mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Barclays mortgage from the register. Barclays, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Barclays has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Barclays has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Barclays mortgage has been paid off.

I have instructed a Bruton conveyancer having made sure that they are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Nationwide will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nationwide will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Bruton surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Bruton before retaining solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor has said that some lenders may not grant a mortgage on a flying freehold home.

It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you call us we can check via the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Bruton. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

Given that I will soon spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on a terraced house in Bruton I wish to have a conversation with the lawyer about myhouse move prior to appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?

Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the solicitor due to be doing your property ownership legalities in Bruton.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important individual, not a case number. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in Bruton should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.

Am I better off to go with a Bruton conveyancing lawyer based in the location that I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can perform the legal work but his firm is located 200miles drive away.

The primary upside of using a local Bruton conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to sign paperwork, present your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. Having local Bruton know how is a plus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have used your friend and on the whole were content that should surpass using an unfamiliar Bruton conveyancing lawyer just because they are local.
