We wish to acquire a 3 bedroom apartment in Bruton with a homeloan from Halifax.We use our Bruton conveyancing solicitor but Halifax says he's not listed on their approved list of member firms. It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a Halifax panel solicitor or retain our preferred solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Halifax approved list. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Halifax

My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Bruton. Conveyancing is necessary. What is next?
Now that you have exchanged you will need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor as a matter of priority as you are facing a tight deadline in which to complete the deal. Every auction property will have a bespoke auction pack. This will likely include most,if not all of the paperwork that your conveyancer will need. If you have purchased leasehold premises the conveyancing pack should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork relating to leasehold premises. You should pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that your finances are in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
I have a mortgage with Principality for my property in Bruton. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Principality?
Principality must be informed of your intention before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Principality’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Principality will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Principality directly. You need not do this via a Principality conveyancing panel firm.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Bruton I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bruton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
My step-father has urged me to use his conveyancers in Bruton. Should I use them?
