We have rather brash sellers who has suggested a preliminary agreement with a deposit 6,000. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
There are two main drawbacks with executing a lock out agreement (occasionally known as an exclusivity agreement) is that it can distract from progressing with the conveyancing transaction itself, so unless it requires little or no negotiation then it could transpire to be unhelpful. It is not strongly advocated by St Mellons conveyancing practitioners for this reason. A supplemental negative is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved purchaser should not expect to secure injunctive relief to prevent the vendor completing the sale to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the reimbursement of abortive costs and, in rare circumstances, the extra payment of penalties.

I have paid off my mortgage with Yorkshire BS. I assume I don't need a St Mellons conveyancer on the Yorkshire BS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Yorkshire BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Yorkshire BS mortgage from the register. Yorkshire BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Yorkshire BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Yorkshire BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I acquired my house on 3 February and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in St Mellons expressed confidence that it will be recorded inside ten days. Are properties in St Mellons particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in St Mellons is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any other parties. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration is effected once the new owner is living at the property thus 'speed' is not always an essential issue but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I am purchasing my first flat in St Mellons with a mortgage from Bank of Scotland. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my conveyancer about this extras as it could put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the UK Finance website. UK Finance 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.
