The owners have rather pushy vendors who has recommended a exclusivity agreement with a down payment 6,000. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This type of preliminary agreement is unusual in Rothley, conveyancers are often found to direct clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer is left exposed. Furthermore, there is no certainty that just because the seller has executed an exclusivity contract they will sell to you. They may be tempted to break the contract if they receive a large enough offer to do so because a wronged claimant with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still have to establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not equalise the financial upside that the owner may obtain by reneging on the agreement, however morally unworthy it undoubtedly is.
My fiance and I are hoping to buy a 2 bedroom flat in Rothley with a homeloan from Halifax.We use our Rothley conveyancing lawyer but Halifax informed us he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint a Halifax panel lawyer or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Halifax use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers must be on the Halifax conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Halifax

I am being advised by my conveyancer that defective lease insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Rothley?
The right level of defective lease indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between National Westminster Bank and Virgin Money. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
I can not fathom if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Rothley building society branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Rothley conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
The conveyancing practitioner must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two specifications for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Rothley is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
