They will also have local knowledge which is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have instructed your friend and they were impressed that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Bruton conveyancing solicitor just because they are Bruton based.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Bruton - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
