We have very brash sellers who has recommended a lock out agreement with a non-refundable deposit 6,000. Are such agreements sensible?
This kind of arrangement is not the norm in Conisborough, conveyancers are often found to veer clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the lawyer at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Secondly, there is no certainty that just because the seller has entered into an exclusivity agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the contract if they receive a big enough offer to do so because an aggrieved claimant with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not equalise the extra amount that your vendor may gain by breaking the agreement, no matter how morally unworthy that may be.
I have been told that property searches are the primary cause of hinderance in Conisborough house deals. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the common causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Conisborough.
I am buying my first flat in Conisborough benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about this extras as it would affect my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the UK Finance website. UK Finance 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.

My a decade ago. He has been married, widowed and in recent months got married again. He now wants to dispose of the Conisborough property. I believe he will just be need to supply copies of his marriage certificates to the lawyer but he is concerned it could frustrate the home sale. Is it worth updating the land title information for the house?
It is not absolutely necessary to bring up to date the title for the property as long as you have the proof required to demonstrate how the name change resulted.
Any purchaser’s conveyancer will check the title details and need evidence by way of proof of the change of name for instance marriage certificates.
