Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Dursley

The owners have very assertive sellers who has insisted on a exclusivity contract with a deposit of 5k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?

Exclusivity contracts are agreements binding a home owner and purchaser giving the buyer the sole right to purchase the property for a certain period of time. For all intents and purposes, a lock out is a document specifying that you should receive a contract at a later date which is the contract for the actual sale. It tends to be utilised for buyer protection though in some cases, the vendor may stand to benefit from such agreements as well. There are various pros and cons to having an agreement but you need to check with your solicitor but note that it may end up costing you more in conveyancing fees. For this these agreements are not popular in relation to conveyancing in Dursley.

It is 10 years ago since I acquired my home in Dursley. Conveyancing solicitors have just been retained on the sale but I can't find the title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?

Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by the lender or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who acted in your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Dursley involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
