The owners have rather pushy sellers who has recommended a preliminary contract with a payment 6,000. Are such arrangements appropriate for Long Ashton conveyancing transactions?

This type of preliminary agreement is unusual in Long Ashton, conveyancers are not keen on them as they divert attention from the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the lawyer at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that just because the vendor has executed a lock out agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the contract if they are offered a large enough financial inducement to do so because a wronged purchaser with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still be obliged show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not compare to the financial benefit that your seller may secure by breaching the agreement, no matter how morally reprehensible it undoubtedly is.

Completed the sale of my flat in Long Ashton last December yet the purchaser is telephoning daily complaining that their lawyer needs to hear from mysolicitor. What should my lawyer have done following completion?

If applicable, your solicitor must also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been paid off to the purchasers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion formalities specific conveyancing in Long Ashton.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Long Ashton in advance of appointing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor advised that some banks tend not grant a loan on this type of property.

We're first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the property agent informed us that the owners will only move forward if we instruct their preferred solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Long Ashton

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this demand. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is counter productive. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Long Ashton conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will give the estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing targets set by senior management.
