The owners have rather assertive vendors who has suggested a lock out agreement with a payment 10k. Are such agreements sensible?
Lock out agreements are contracts binding a property seller and prospective acquirer granting the buyer the sole right to the sale of the premises within an agreed time frame. For all intents and purposes, an exclusivity is a document specifying that you should receive a contract at a later time being the contract for the actual sale. It is generally utilised for buyer assurance though in many situations, the vendor may enjoy an upside from such agreements as well. There are many pros and cons to having them but you need to check with your solicitor but note that it may end up costing you more in conveyancing fees. For this these agreements are avoided when it comes to conveyancing in Writtle.
I am assisting my step-mother sell her flat in Writtle. Will the solicitor arrange an energy performance certificate or it is for the owner to see to?
Following the demise of Home Packs, EPC’s remained a required element of moving house. An energy assessment must be commissioned before the property is put on the market. It is not a task that solicitors ordinarily arrange. If you are using a Writtle conveyancing solicitor they may be willing to arrange energy assessments given their relationships with reputable Writtle providers
My wife and I buying a detached bungalow in Writtle. Our aim is to convert the garage to an office at the house.Will the conveyancing process include enquiries to determine if these works were previously refused?
Your conveyancer will review the registered title as conveyancing in Writtle will occasionally reveal restrictions in the title deeds which restrict categories of changes or necessitated the consent of another owner.

Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. It would be sensible to check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, HSBC are being pedantic. The Writtle solicitor who is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but HSBC are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do HSBC have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that HSBC have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why HSBC may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Is this relevant for conveyancing in Writtle?
Unless a prior acquisition of the property took place post 12 October 2013 you could expect conveyancing practitioners delivering conveyancing in Writtle to remain encouraging a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
