The sellers of the home we are hoping to buy hired a conveyancing solicitor in East Preston who has recommended a lock out contract with a payment 10k. Are such agreements sensible?

Lock out agreements are agreements between a home owner and purchaser giving the buyer exclusive rights to the sale of the premises for a set period of time. Essentially, a lock out is a document stating that you will be issued with a contract at a later date which is the contract for the actual sale.

After the demise of HIPs, EPC’s became a required part of moving property. An energy performance certificate must be commissioned prior to the property being advertised. It is not something that lawyers normally organise. Where you are using a East Preston conveyancing lawyer they may be willing to arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with long established local energy assessors

We had instructed conveyancers based in East Preston on the Co-operative solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further fee for dealing with the Co-operative mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Co-operative?

As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your property lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Co-operative but by your East Preston property lawyer. Some firms on the Co-operative panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms incorporate it on their overall fee.

The deeds to our home can not be found. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in East Preston 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?
