We have rather pushy vendors who has suggested a exclusivity agreement with a deposit 10k. Are such agreements sensible?
Lock out contracts are contracts between a property owner and purchaser granting the buyer exclusive rights to the sale of the property within an agreed time frame. Essentially, a lock out is a document specifying that you should be issued with a contract at a later date which is the main conveyancing contract.

There are numerous pros and cons to using them but you should to check with your conveyancer but beware that it may end up incurring more in conveyancing charges. For these reasons these contracts are not popular when it comes to conveyancing in Appleton.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Appleton off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Lloyds. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Lloyds, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.
4 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Appleton completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

We're new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent advised that the owners will only proceed if we instruct the agent's recommended solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Appleton
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this requirement. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Appleton conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by HQ.
My wife and I have recently had an offer accepted on a property and had meeting on Wednesday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They have informed us that when it comes to choosing a conveyancer that unless they are on their approved list of solicitors then we will incur an additional charge of £200. This is because they would then have to appoint a property lawyer to act on their behalf as well as the one we select for ourselves and we are liable for their costs. I have requested Nationwide to send me with a list so I can request quotes only from their approved lawyers but was told that I need to check with each individual solicitor to see if they are on the panel. Is there a list online?
You can enquire of Nationwide what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the lawyer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on loans for Nationwide in the past. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Nationwide. Another option is to utilise our search tool and we should be able to locate a conveyancer in Appleton on the approved list for Nationwide.
