I can't travel far from Tulse Hill. What is the rationale as to why all Tulse Hill property lawyers are not on all mortgage company panels?
Banks ordinarily restrict either the nature or volume of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. Frequent examples of such criteria being that the organisation needs to have at least two partners. As well as restricting the structure of firm, some lenders decided to restrict the number of firms they use to represent them. It is worth noting that mortgage companies have no accountability for the accuracy of service given by any Tulse Hill solicitor on their panel. Property fraud was the main trigger for the culling of conveyancing panels from 2008 even though there are opposing thoughts concerning whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Data published by HMLR exposes that thousands of law organisations only conduct a couple of conveyances a year. Those advocating conveyancing panel pruning question why law firms should have claim to remain on a lender panel when it is evident that conveyancing is not their primary expertise?
The owners of the property we are hoping to buy have instructed a conveyancing solicitor in Tulse Hill who has recommended a preliminary contract with a down payment 6,000. Are such agreements sensible?
Exclusivity agreements are contracts binding a home vendor and purchaser giving the buyer the sole right to the sale of the premises for a set period of time. Essentially, an exclusivity agreement is a contract stating that you should receive a contract at a later time being the main conveyancing contract. It is generally utilised for buyer protection though in many situations, the seller may stand to benefit from such agreements as well. There are various pros and cons to using them but you need to check with your conveyancer but note that it may end up costing you more in conveyancing charges. In light of this these agreements are avoided in relation to conveyancing in Tulse Hill.
