Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Bakewell.

My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, but the property agent told us that the seller will only move forward if we appoint the agent's chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Bakewell

It is highly unlikely the vendors are driving this. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Try to communicate with the owners directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to use your preferred Bakewell conveyancing firm - as opposed tothe ones that will give their estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing figures set by senior management.

We are about to purchasing a property in Bakewell. Conveyancing is not yet done but we would like have our transaction price a secret from sites such as Rightmove. Is this achievable and how?

HM Land Registry by statute are required to disclose price paid data on a register of the title for residential properties nationwide which includes properties in Bakewell. The register of title is an open document, so HM Land Registry would be breaking the law if they failed to permit access to the register.

In essence you can ask HMLR to hide the price paid entry yet the answer will be a No.
