Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Staindrop is not on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of his conveyancing?
That is most likely a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Staindrop conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
The owners have very brash sellers who has insisted on a exclusivity contract with a payment 6,000. Are such agreements recommended for Staindrop conveyancing transactions?
There are a couple of main concerns with entering into any lock out contract (also referred to as a shut-out contract) is that it takes away the focus from progressing with the conveyancing process, so unless it requires little or no negotiation then it may transpire to be a hindrance. It is not strongly advocated by Staindrop conveyancing practitioners as a result. A further concern is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted purchaser is extremely unlikely to win an injunction to prevent the seller completing the sale to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy available under the contract will be the reimbursement of wasted charges and, in rare situations, the extra payment of damages.

We are selling our house in Staindrop and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A high street Staindrop conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed an online conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Staindrop. Having lived in Staindrop for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
