Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Lincolnshire

The owners of the property we are hoping to buy have appointed a conveyancing firm in Lincolnshire who has suggested a lock out agreement with a non-refundable deposit of 5k. Are such agreements sensible?

There are a couple of main downsides with signing a lock out contract (occasionally referred to as a shut-out contract) is that it can distract from moving forward with the conveyancing process, so unless it requires minimal or no negotiation then it could transpire to be unhelpful. It is not promoted amongst Lincolnshire conveyancing solicitors as a result. A supplemental negative is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted buyer is extremely unlikely to secure injunctive relief to prohibit the owner disposing of the property to a third party, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the recovery of wasted costs and, in limited scenarios, the extra payment of penalties.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Lincolnshire off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Nottingham. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Nottingham, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.

Property lawyer retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Principality and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel. Are Principality entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Principality to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Principality conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
