The vendors of the house we are hoping to buy are using a conveyancing firm in Shirebrook who has suggested a exclusivity agreement with a payment two thousand pounds. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This form of preliminary agreement isn't frequently used in Shirebrook, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from focusing on the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor is left exposed. Secondly, there is no certainty that just because the vendor has executed an exclusivity agreement they will sell to you. They may breach the agreement if they are offered sufficient financial inducement to do so because an aggrieved party with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still have to show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not equalise the financial benefit that your vendor may obtain by breaking the agreement, no matter how morally condemnable that may be.
Completed the sale of my flat in Shirebrook last April yet the purchaser is Skype messaging every few hours complaining that their lawyer needs to hear from mylawyer. What should have happened following completion?
Following your sale your lawyer is duty bound to send the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s solicitors. If applicable, your conveyancer must also send confirmation that the mortgage has been paid off to the buyers lawyers.

I am due to move property in January. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Shirebrook. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across your site.
On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from the selling agent but this can only occur when the sellers solicitors inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be given over. After that you can inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Shirebrook or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Shirebrook.
I'm the sole beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Shirebrook. The Shirebrook property was put into my name in October. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in October. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this provision primarily exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
Is it the case that all Shirebrook conveyancing solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the SRA. Some mortgage companies do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be governed by the CLC.
