The owners have very pushy vendors who has insisted on a lock out contract with a non-refundable deposit 6,000. Are such agreements sensible?
This kind of preliminary agreement isn't frequently used in Longfield, conveyancers are often inclined to veer clients away from them as they divert attention from the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer is left exposed. Furthermore, there is no assurance that just because the owner has executed an exclusivity contract they will complete the sale with you. They may breach the contract if they receive sufficient offer to do so because an aggrieved purchaser with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still be obliged show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not amount to the extra amount that your seller may gain by reneging on the agreement, however morally unworthy that may be.

We are aiming to move house in November. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Longfield. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across this page.
On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from the selling agent however this should only be done once the previous owners lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be handed over. You can advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Longfield or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Longfield.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Virgin Money. Longfield conveyancing practitioners were appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Virgin Money?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Virgin Money conducted the survey? Have you informed Virgin Money as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Leeds Building Society are being pedantic. The Longfield solicitor who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Leeds Building Society are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Leeds Building Society have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Leeds Building Society have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Leeds Building Society may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
My partner and I are downsizing from our home in Longfield and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Longfield lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a factory type conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Longfield. We have lived in Longfield for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
I'm buying my first flat in Longfield with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my conveyancer about the extras as it could jeopardize my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
