The owners of the house we are looking to purchase have instructed a conveyancing solicitor in Castleton who has suggested a exclusivity contract with a payment 6,000. Are such contracts generally advanced for Castleton conveyancing transactions?

There are two primary concerns with executing a lock out agreement (also known as a shut-out contract) is that it diverts attention away from making progress with the conveyancing transaction itself, so unless it requires little or no negotiation then it may transpire to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not strongly advocated by Castleton conveyancing solicitors for this reason. The other main negative is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted buyer is not likely to be issued with an injunction to prevent the vendor disposing of the property to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy open via the contract will be the recovery of abortive costs and, in limited scenarios, the extra payment of penalties.

My fiance and I intend to purchase a newly converted flat in Castleton with a loan from Nottingham Building Society.We would like to retain our Castleton conveyancing solicitor but Nottingham Building Society says he's not on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Nottingham Building Society panel lawyer or retain our preferred solicitor and fork out for a Nottingham Building Society panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that lawyers will be on the Nottingham Building Society approved list. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Nottingham Building Society
