My IFA says he needs my Burton upon Trent solicitor’s panel member for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. How do I discover this. I have called my local Burton upon Trent branch but they cant find it on their system.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Burton upon Trent lawyer . Most Burton upon Trent conveyancing practices will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.
The owners have rather assertive vendors who has insisted on a lock out agreement with a non-refundable deposit two thousand pounds. Are such arrangements appropriate for Burton upon Trent conveyancing transactions?
There are a couple of main drawbacks with executing a lock out contract (sometimes known as an exclusivity agreement) is that it diverts attention away from making progress with the conveyancing transaction itself, so in the absence of it needing limited or no negotiation then it may transpire to be unhelpful. It is not strongly advocated amongst Burton upon Trent conveyancing solicitors as a result. A supplemental negative is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved purchaser is very unlikely to win an injunctive ruling by a court to stop the owner selling to a third party, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the recovery of wasted charges and, in rare circumstances, the additional payment of damages.
