The owners of the home we are looking to purchase have instructed a conveyancing firm in Attleborough who has suggested a lock out contract with a deposit 6,000. Are such contracts the norm for Attleborough conveyancing transactions?
There are a couple of main downsides with executing a lock out agreement (sometimes known as a no-shop agreement) is that it takes away the focus from progressing with the conveyancing transaction itself, so unless it requires little or no negotiation then it may turn out to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not particularly popular by Attleborough conveyancing solicitors as a result. The other main negative is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted purchaser is extremely unlikely to secure an injunction to stop the seller completing the sale to another buyer, so the only remedy open via the agreement will be the reimbursement of wasted charges and, in restricted scenarios, the additional payment of penalties.

How does conveyancing in Attleborough differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Attleborough approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Attleborough usually acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Attleborough or who has acted in the same development.
My husband and I have an offer in principle from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society who suggested we could borrow up to £400k. When do we need to instruct a practitioner for conveyancing? Attleborough is where we plan to move to.
It would be wise to appoint a property lawyer now and ask them to generate a file for you. This will enable: 1) the selling agent to send out the Sales Memorandum to all parties 2) the seller’s lawyer to submit the draft agreement. That being said, do not instruct your conveyancing practitioner to order searches until you receive your valuation report via Norwich and Peterborough Building Society and you are content to move forward.
