The sellers of the property we are looking to purchase hired a conveyancing solicitor in Bradley Stoke who has recommended a exclusivity contract with a payment 6,000. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This type of preliminary agreement is not the norm in Bradley Stoke, conveyancers will often try and steer clients away from them as they divert attention from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor is left exposed. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that just because the seller has executed a lock out contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be tempted to break the agreement if they are offered a large enough financial inducement to do so because a wronged purchaser with the benefit of a lockoutcontract will still be duty bound to establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not compare to the extra amount that your seller may secure by breaking the agreement, however morally reprehensible that may be.

I own a renovated Victorian property in Bradley Stoke. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Leeds Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Bradley Stoke and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
I'm buying a new build house in Bradley Stoke with a loan from HSBC Bank. The builders would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my solicitor about this extras as it will affect my mortgage with HSBC Bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
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.
