We have rather brash vendors who has insisted on a lock out contract with a non-refundable deposit of 5k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
There are a couple of primary concerns with signing a lock out contract (also known as a no-shop agreement) is that it takes away the focus from making progress with the conveyancing process, so unless it requires little or no negotiation then it could transpire to be unhelpful. It is not strongly advocated by Tring conveyancing solicitors for this reason. A supplemental issue is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted buyer is very unlikely to win injunctive relief to prevent the owner selling to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the reimbursement of abortive charges and, in rare scenarios, the additional payment of penalties.

It would be unwise to be swayed by the cheapest Tring conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Tring. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. UBS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with UBS your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for UBS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to UBS where a lease does not satisfy these conditions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Tring.
I have recentlyfound out that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Tring for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I establish that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to see if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Tring conveyancing specialists.
My son is about to join the property ladder, he had his mortgage in principle. When the seller agreed the offer on the house we called the mortgage company to progress the mortgage application. We were very surprised to discover that mortgage companies do not accept all property lawyer, they have to be on a list, is this right?
Mortgage Companies tend to imposes restrictions either the type or the number of conveyancing solicitors on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that lenders have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Tring conveyancer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Presumably not.
