The vendors of the home we are looking to purchase are using a conveyancing solicitor in Nefyn who has suggested a exclusivity agreement with a deposit 6,000. Are such agreements sensible?
There are two main drawbacks with signing a lock out contract (occasionally referred to as an exclusivity agreement) is that it can distract from progressing with the conveyancing process, so unless it requires limited or no negotiation then it could transpire to be a hindrance. It is not particularly popular by Nefyn conveyancing solicitors as a result. A supplemental concern is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved purchaser is not likely to be granted an injunction to bar the owner completing the sale to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the reimbursement of abortive charges and, in restricted circumstances, the additional payment of damages.
It is a dozen years since I acquired my home in Nefyn. Conveyancing lawyers have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to track down my title deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be retained by the mortgage company or they could be archived with the lawyers who handled your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Nefyn relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.
Is there a search tool that I can utilise to check that the solicitor handling my conveyancing in Nefyn is on the bank’sconveyancing panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for Leeds Building Society thus spending £175.00 in another set of conveyancing costs.

I'm buying a new build house in Nefyn with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my solicitor about this extras as it could put at risk my mortgage with Nottingham Building Society. 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.
