The vendors of the home we are purchasing have appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Marshfield who has insisted on a lock out contract with a down payment of 5k. Are such agreements recommended for Marshfield conveyancing transactions?
There are a couple of primary downsides with executing a lock out contract (occasionally termed an exclusivity agreement) is that it takes away the focus from progressing with the conveyancing transaction itself, so in the absence of it needing little or no negotiation then it may turn out to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not particularly popular amongst Marshfield conveyancing solicitors for this reason. A supplemental negative is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved purchaser is not likely to obtain an injunction to bar the owner disposing of the property to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the recovery of abortive charges and, in restricted scenarios, the extra payment of damages.
I have a decision in principle. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel solicitor as I would much rather appoint a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Marshfield?

Some banks have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Marshfield.

Am in the process of buying my first property in Marshfield. Conveyancing practitioner already selected. The mortgage adviser suggested that a survey is not appropriate as the house was only built 22 years ago.
At the very least you should order a Home Buyer's Report. As the property was constructed over a decade ago the property will not come with a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report could be enough. They will highlight any obvious problems and suggest additional investigation if relevant. If there are any signs of material issues obtain a full structural survey.
