The Halifax conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

The owners have rather assertive sellers who has suggested a exclusivity agreement with a payment two thousand pounds. Are such agreements sensible?

Exclusivity contracts are contracts binding a property vendor and prospective acquirer giving the buyer exclusive rights to purchase the property within a prescribed time frame. Essentially, an exclusivity is a document stating that you should receive a contract at a later date which is the contract for the actual sale. It is generally utilised for buyer confidence though in some cases, the vendor may stand to benefit from such agreements as well. There are numerous 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 fees. For this these contracts are not popular in relation to conveyancing in Leven.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different instructions for example to Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to telephone us we can check with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Leven. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Leven to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.

I was advised by a few estate agents in Leven to locate a solicitor using your seach tool. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers over and above another?

We refuse to make any referral fee for directing people our way. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
