We have rather brash sellers who has insisted on a lock out agreement with a deposit 10k. Are such agreements sensible?
Exclusivity contracts are contracts between a property vendor and prospective acquirer giving the buyer exclusive rights to the sale of the premises for a set period of time. Essentially, a lock out agreement is a contract specifying that you should have a contract at a later date which is the main conveyancing contract. It tends to be used for buyer assurance though in many situations, the owner may stand to benefit from such agreements as well. There are various positives and negatives to having them but you need to check with your conveyancer but beware that it may result in incurring more in conveyancing fees. For this these contracts are avoided when it comes to conveyancing in Felling and Pelaw.

My husband and I have arranged the release of further monies on our home loan from Nottingham as we want to carry out improvements to our property in Felling and Pelaw. Are we obliged to choose a high street Felling and Pelaw solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Nottingham do not ordinarily require a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Nottingham list.
I can not work out if my lender requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Felling and Pelaw bank branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Felling and Pelaw conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
The conveyancer must comply with the CML Handbook section two specifications for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I'm buying a new build house in Felling and Pelaw with a mortgage from Nottingham Building Society. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my lawyer about the deal as it may impact my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
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 CML website. CML 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%.
