We have rather brash vendors who has suggested a preliminary agreement with a down payment 10k. Are such contracts generally advanced for Montacute conveyancing transactions?
This form of agreement isn't frequently used in Montacute, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from focusing on the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. In addition, there is no certainty that just because the proprietor has signed a lock out contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be tempted to break the contract if they are offered a large enough incentive to do so because an aggrieved claimant with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still have to show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not equate the extra amount that your vendor may gain by breaking the agreement, no matter how morally condemnable it undoubtedly is.
I am intent on selling our home in Montacute and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed an internet conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Montacute. We have lived in Montacute for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You need to enquire of 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 ailment)
I used Stirling Law several years ago for my conveyancing in Montacute. I now require my file however the law firm has closed. What do I do?
You should contact the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to assist in tracking down your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555.

I am purchasing a new build house in Montacute benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent told me not to tell my conveyancer about the side-deal as it could jeopardize my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
I am using a search engine for the words conveyancing in Montacute it brings up many conveyancersin the vicinity. How do I determine which is the right conveyancing solicitor for the sale of my house?

I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed apartment in Montacute. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently had a yearly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?
It best that you clear the maintenance contribution as you normally would given that all ground rent and service charges will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
