Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Forestdale. Can you please spell out why all Forestdale solicitors aren't automatically on all lender panels?
Lenders highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The dismissal of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for mortgage companies to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. This resulted in mortgage companies purging a number of firms off their books of approved conveyancing practitioners .
We have rather brash sellers who has recommended a lock out agreement with a non-refundable deposit 10k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This form of agreement is unusual in Forestdale, conveyancers are often inclined to veer clients away from them as they divert attention from the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the lawyer is left exposed. Secondly, there is no guarantee that just because the vendor has signed a lock out contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be motivated to break the contract if they are offered a big enough financial inducement to do so because an aggrieved buyer with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still be duty bound to establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not compare to the extra amount that your vendor may secure by reneging on the contract, however morally condemnable it undoubtedly is.

We are getting the release of further funds on our mortgage from Barclays as we want to carry out alterations to our property in Forestdale. Are we obliged to choose a nearby Forestdale solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Barclays would not normally instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers 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 Barclays panel.
I currently have a mortgage with Coventry BS for my property in Forestdale. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Coventry BS?
You must advise Coventry BS prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Coventry BS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Coventry BS will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Coventry BS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Coventry BS conveyancing panel lawyer.
