Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Sedbergh

The sellers of the property we are purchasing hired a conveyancing solicitor in Sedbergh who has suggested a exclusivity contract with a deposit 10k. Are such agreements sensible?

Exclusivity agreements are agreements binding a home owner and purchaser granting the buyer a ‘clear field’ to the sale of the premises within a prescribed time frame. Essentially, an exclusivity agreement is a contract stating that you will be issued with a contract at a later date being the contract for the actual sale. It is generally utilised for buyer confidence though in some cases, the owner may enjoy an upside from such agreements as well. There are numerous pros and cons to using an agreement but you need to check with your conveyancer but note that it may end up costing you extra in conveyancing fees. In light of these reasons these contracts are unusual when it comes to conveyancing in Sedbergh.

Your solicitor should review the registered title as conveyancing in Sedbergh will occasionally identify restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit categories of works or need the permission of another owner. Certain additions require local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.

I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Sedbergh. My mortgage broker suggested a property lawyer. I paid an advanced payment of £150. A couple of days later, the solicitor contacted me to say that they were not on the RBS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the RBS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Planning on purchasing a house in Sedbergh. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Sedbergh property lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
