Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Egremont who completed the legal work two years ago asking for a conveyancing costs illustration based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a home loan from Birmingham Midshires. It looks as though am now being quoted double. Better the devil I know or do I try and find an alternative property lawyer?

The owners have very pushy sellers who has suggested a exclusivity agreement with a deposit 10k. Are such agreements generally advanced for Egremont conveyancing transactions?
Exclusivity contracts are contracts binding a home owner and purchaser granting the buyer exclusive rights to the sale of the premises for a set period of time. For all intents and purposes, a lock out agreement is a contract specifying that you will have a contract at a later time which is the contract for the actual sale. It tends to be used for buyer protection though in some cases, the seller may stand to benefit from such agreements as well. There are various positives and negatives to having an agreement but you need to check with your lawyer but note that it may end up costing you more in conveyancing charges. For these reasons these contracts are rare when it comes to conveyancing in Egremont.
