The owners of the property we are hoping to buy have appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Lymm who has recommended a lock out contract with a payment 10k. Are such agreements recommended for Lymm conveyancing transactions?
This kind of agreement is unusual in Lymm, conveyancers are not keen on them as they divert attention from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer is left exposed. Secondly, there is no assurance that just because the seller has executed an exclusivity agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the agreement if they receive a large enough financial inducement to do so because a wronged purchaser with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not compare to the financial upside that your seller may obtain by breaching the contract, however morally unworthy it undoubtedly is.

I'm spending time looking at apartments in Lymm and I am about to put in an offer. Is it wise to have a lawyer on ‘stand by’? I will be getting a home loan with Coventry BS.
It would be prudent to instigate your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the EA. As you are obtaining a mortgage with Coventry BS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by UBS. Is it usual for UBS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Lymm is approved on their conveyancing panel? UBS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for UBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the UBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Lymm is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Lymm are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Lymm you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Lymm may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
