I can't travel far from Cinderford. What is the rationale as to why all Cinderford property lawyers aren't included on all lender panels?
Mortgage companies point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The elimination of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. It led to banks and building societies pruning less reputable firms off their official list of approved solicitors .
The vendors of the home we are looking to purchase hired a conveyancing firm in Cinderford who has recommended a exclusivity contract with a payment 10k. Are such agreements appropriate for Cinderford conveyancing transactions?
This kind of contract is not the norm in Cinderford, conveyancers are not keen on 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. Furthermore, there is no assurance that just because the vendor has signed an exclusivity contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the contract if they are offered sufficient incentive to do so because an aggrieved party with the benefit of a lockoutcontract will still have to establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not equalise the extra amount that the owner may secure by breaking the contract, however morally reprehensible it undoubtedly is.

Almost all properties in Cinderford should show up. Have you endevoured to search with simply the postcode. Normally it should disclose all the premises within the postcode. Assuming the property is registered it will show up with a title number. If they bought 50 years ago it's conceivable it may be unregistered. The address might still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to find the original title papers which could be with your parent’s mortgage company.
