You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Wellington and elsewhere in Somerset is an adversarial process.

Now that you are for all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you will need to choose a conveyancing lawyer as a matter of priority as you are faced with a tight deadline in which to complete the property. An auction property should have an associated legal set of papers. This will include most,if not all of the documents that your solicitor requires.

We were going to get a OIP from Yorkshire BS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Yorkshire BS recommend any Wellington solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Wellington solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Yorkshire BS through the process.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one close by in Wellington I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Wellington in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you need a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
