I am hoping to receive a mortgage offer from Nat West. My intention is to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Ashton In Makerfield. Does the Nat West Conveyancing panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Nat West conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
The owners have rather assertive vendors who has suggested a exclusivity agreement with a down payment 10k. Are such agreements sensible?
This type of contract isn't common in Ashton In Makerfield, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from focusing on the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer is left exposed. In addition, there is no guarantee that just because the seller has entered into an exclusivity agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be tempted to break the contract if they are offered sufficient financial inducement to do so because a wronged purchaser with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still be legally obliged to establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not equate the financial upside that the owner may secure by breaching the agreement, however morally unworthy the behaviour is.
It is is a decade since I bought my house in Ashton In Makerfield. Conveyancing lawyers have now been appointed on the sale but I am unable to track down the title deeds. Will this cause complications?

Secondly the chances are that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Ashton In Makerfield relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.

Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Please supply a car parking plan. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
