Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Swaffham

The owners of the house we are purchasing are using a conveyancing solicitor in Swaffham who has suggested a exclusivity agreement with a non-refundable deposit of 5k. Are such arrangements generally advanced for Swaffham conveyancing transactions?

This form of contract is unusual in Swaffham, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer is left exposed. Furthermore, there is no certainty that just because the seller has signed an exclusivity agreement they will sell to you. They may be inclined to break the contract if they are offered a large enough incentive to do so because an aggrieved party with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not equalise the extra amount that your vendor may obtain by reneging on the contract, however morally unworthy it undoubtedly is.

I was advised by a few selling agents in Swaffham to get a quote from a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to recommend your services ahead of another?

We refuse to offer any commission for directing people our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

There are numerous properties in Swaffham on private lanes. We are acquiring such a house. What would be the pros and cons of purchasing a residence on a private road?

Swaffham conveyancing lawyers will be familiar with transacting houseson private. Your property lawyer should review the title to identify any rights or responsibilities. In many cases there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that residents make annual payments for the upkeep of the road. Where there is one, the road will likely be maintained and appear better than council adopted.
