The vendors of the home we are looking to purchase have instructed a conveyancing solicitor in Rugeley who has insisted on a exclusivity contract with a down payment 6,000. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
There are two primary downsides with entering into any lock out contract (also termed a no-shop agreement) is that it takes away the focus from moving forward with the conveyancing work, so unless it requires little or no negotiation then it could transpire to be unhelpful. It is not promoted by Rugeley conveyancing lawyers as a result. A further negative is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted buyer should not expect to secure injunctive relief to stop the seller selling to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy open via the contract will be the recovery of abortive costs and, in limited circumstances, the extra payment of damages.

Me and my brother have a semi-detached Edwardian house in Rugeley. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Barclays Direct. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Rugeley and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
My mortgage broker has recommended their solicitor for the conveyancing in Rugeley - Surely it’s advisable to just instruct them?
It is not always the case and you are entitled to instruct whichever lawyer you decide for your Rugeley conveyancing. The conveyancer suggested by an estate agent may not necessarily be the right conveyancing practitioner, they may suggest their preferred conveyancing firm who are based remotely. In this instance you may not have contact with your lawyer and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain progress reports.
