Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Eaglescliffe

Why would I appoint a Eaglescliffe conveyancing company given that online alternatives are more affordable?

Its a good idea to shop around for conveyancing costs in Eaglescliffe and you should seek an affordable estimate but don’t be focused with looking for the lowest priced Eaglescliffe conveyancer.

The sellers of the house we are looking to purchase have appointed a conveyancing firm in Eaglescliffe who has insisted on a lock out agreement with a non-refundable deposit 6,000. Are such agreements sensible?

This form of contract is not the norm in Eaglescliffe, conveyancers are often found to veer clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer is left exposed. Furthermore, there is no certainty that just because the owner has entered into a lock out agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may breach the contract if they receive sufficient offer to do so because an aggrieved party with the benefit of a lockoutcontract will still be duty bound to show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not equalise the financial upside that your seller may obtain by breaking the agreement, however morally unworthy it undoubtedly is.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Eaglescliffe?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Eaglescliffe. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I am 18 days into a freehold purchase having been directed to conveyancers by the selling agent to perform conveyancing in Eaglescliffe. I am am very disappointed with the quality of service. Could you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?

They would have to be really poor in order to consider replacing them. Has your mortgage been sent? If so you need to inform them of the new contact details and get the loan are re-issued. The conveyancer should be on the mortgage company panel to avoid added fees and frustration. So that should be your starting point.

My partner and I recently discovered that one of the directors of the law firm acting on the purchase conveyancing in Eaglescliffe is an uncle of the seller. Is this allowed?

Provided no conflict arises this should be fine. If you are needing a home loan then the bank may have a say as many lenders have specific requirements concerning this. For example for Skipton Building Society as of 12/4/2025, the requirements read as follows :

1.15- May your firm act if the person dealing with the transaction or a member of his immediate family is the borrower?

Yes, provided the stipulations in 1.15 are strictly complied with.
