My family lawyer has quoted £1350 for no move no fee conveyancing in Axbridge. I am selling a purpose built detached home for £150,000. Is this overpriced? Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Axbridge?

The owners have very brash vendors who has insisted on a lock out agreement with a non-refundable deposit two thousand pounds. Are such arrangements appropriate for Axbridge conveyancing transactions?
This type of arrangement is not the norm in Axbridge, conveyancers will often direct clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Secondly, there is no certainty that just because the proprietor has signed an exclusivity agreement they will sell to you. They may be inclined to break the contract if they receive a large enough incentive to do so because an aggrieved claimant with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not compare to the extra amount that your seller may obtain by breaching the contract, no matter how morally shameful that may be.

I am the only recipient of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Axbridge. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in September. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in September. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. many lenders would take a sensible view as this clause primarily exists to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Clydesdale. Is it usual for Clydesdale to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Axbridge is approved on their conveyancing panel? Clydesdale have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Clydesdale to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
