The owners of the house we are looking to purchase have appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Kempsey who has suggested a lock out agreement with a deposit 10k. Are such contracts appropriate for Kempsey conveyancing transactions?
Lock out contracts are agreements binding a home owner and purchaser giving the buyer a ‘clear field’ to purchase the property within a prescribed time frame. Essentially, a lock out is a document stating that you should receive a contract at a later date being the main conveyancing contract. It tends to be used for buyer confidence though in some cases, the seller may enjoy an upside from such agreements as well. There are numerous pros and cons to having an agreement but you need to check with your conveyancer but beware that it may end up costing you more in conveyancing charges. For this these agreements are not popular when it comes to conveyancing in Kempsey.
I am buying a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Kempsey who is on the Britannia approved. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a firm?

I am being advised by my conveyancer that absentee landlord insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Kempsey conveyancing?
The appropriate level of absentee landlord indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Birmingham Midshires and Skipton Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
Is it the case that all Kempsey solicitor practices on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Yorkshire BS approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the firms would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
We were going to get a DIP from Co-operative this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Co-operative recommend any Kempsey solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Kempsey solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Co-operative through the process.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Kempsey?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Kempsey. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I have checked your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the bank approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the bank conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the mortgage company solicitor panel.
