Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Kempsey is not listed on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of her conveyancing?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should contact the Kempsey conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
The owners have rather pushy sellers who has suggested a exclusivity agreement with a down payment 6,000. Are such contracts recommended for Kempsey conveyancing transactions?
There are two primary downsides with entering into any lock out agreement (also termed a shut-out contract) is that it takes away the focus from making progress with the conveyancing transaction itself, so unless it requires minimal or no negotiation then it could turn out to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not promoted amongst Kempsey conveyancing solicitors as a result. The other main issue is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted buyer should not expect to be issued with an injunctive ruling by a court to prohibit the owner selling to another buyer, so the only remedy open via the agreement will be the recovery of wasted costs and, in rare situations, the additional payment of penalties.

Can you help - my lawyer says that restrictive coveneant insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Kempsey?
The right level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Birmingham Midshires and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
My wife and I are spending time viewing flats in Kempsey and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it sensible to have a conveyancer on ‘stand by’? I am planning to take a home loan with Virgin Money.
You should start requesting conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the selling agent. Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Virgin Money, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
I completed on my house on 5 March and my personal details is not yet registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Kempsey said it would be registered inside ten days. Are titles in Kempsey uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Kempsey registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. As of today in the region of 80% of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the buyer is living at the property so an expedited registration is not typically primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
