The owners have very assertive sellers who has insisted on a lock out contract with a down payment of 5k. Are such contracts appropriate for Much Wenlock conveyancing transactions?
This form of contract is not the norm in Much Wenlock, conveyancers will often encourage clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer is left exposed. Secondly, there is no guarantee that just because the owner has signed a lock out contract they will complete the sale with you. They may breach the agreement if they are offered a large enough incentive to do so because a wronged party with the benefit of a lockoutcontract will still have to establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not equate the financial benefit that your seller may gain by reneging on the contract, however morally unworthy that may be.

I am expecting a OIP from Lloyds this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Lloyds recommend any Much Wenlock solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Much Wenlock solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Lloyds through the process.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Principality. Is it usual for Principality to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Much Wenlock is approved on their conveyancing panel? Principality have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Principality to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Principality conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I have a 4 bedroom Georgian property in Much Wenlock. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Much Wenlock and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the position with the conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees.

The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
