The owners of the property we are looking to purchase hired a conveyancing practitioner in Bush Hill Park who has suggested a exclusivity agreement with a non-refundable deposit 10k. Are such agreements generally advanced for Bush Hill Park conveyancing transactions?
There are a couple of main downsides with entering into any lock out agreement (occasionally referred to as a no-shop agreement) is that it can distract from progressing with the conveyancing process, so unless it requires little or no negotiation then it could transpire to be a hindrance. It is not strongly advocated by Bush Hill Park conveyancing lawyers for this reason. A supplemental concern is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer is not likely to win an injunctive ruling by a court to prevent the vendor disposing of the property to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy available under the contract will be the reimbursement of wasted costs and, in rare scenarios, the extra payment of damages.
I am the sole beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Bush Hill Park. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in March. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook mandates 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. Some lenders would take a practical view as this obligation principally exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
When it comes to lenders such as TSB, do Bush Hill Park conveyancing practitioners have to pay an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Bush Hill Park off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Yorkshire BS. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Yorkshire BS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.

It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Bush Hill Park concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
