I am considering applying for a Lloyds mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Honiton with 60% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Lloyds ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, but Lloyds would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.

I am being told by my conveyancer that absentee landlord insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Honiton conveyancing?

My wife and I are in the process of viewing flats in Honiton and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I will be getting a home loan with UBS.
It would be prudent to instigate your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the estate agent. As you are getting a mortgage with UBS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the UBS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Honiton is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Honiton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Honiton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Honiton may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
