We have rather assertive vendors who has recommended a lock out contract with a deposit 6,000. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This kind of arrangement is not the norm in Worcester Park, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from focusing on the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Furthermore, there is no assurance that just because the proprietor has signed a lock out agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be inclined to break the contract if they receive a big enough financial inducement to do so because an aggrieved party with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not equalise the financial benefit that your seller may secure by reneging on the agreement, no matter how morally condemnable the behaviour is.

Is it the case that all Worcester Park solicitor firms on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Virgin Money approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I have finally had an offer on a maisonette in Worcester Park agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a flat, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other flats booked. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Worcester Park. What do I do now? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Barclays?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Worcester Park conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancer is on the Barclays approved list. As to the next stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Barclays and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with searches.
