We have very assertive vendors who has suggested a lock out contract with a down payment two thousand pounds. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This form of preliminary agreement isn't common in Undy, conveyancers will often direct clients away from them as they detract from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. In addition, there is no guarantee that just because the owner has entered into an exclusivity agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may breach the contract if they are offered a big enough offer to do so because a wronged purchaser with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still have to establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not equalise the extra amount that your vendor may secure by breaking the agreement, no matter how morally reprehensible that may be.
Why do I have to pay up front for conveyancing in Undy?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Undy your solicitor will request that you place them with funds to cover the search fees. Normally this is requested to cover the fees of the Local Authority Search.

The final balance that is due should be sent to your lawyer shortly before completion.

We previously selected conveyancers located in Undy on the Coventry BS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a separate sum for handling the Coventry BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Coventry BS?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your solicitor is entitled to levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by Coventry BS but by your Undy property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Coventry BS panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
