The vendors of the house we are looking to purchase have appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Shinfield who has suggested a lock out agreement with a deposit 10k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?

There are a couple of main downsides with entering into any lock out agreement (also known as a no-shop agreement) is that it can distract from moving forward with the conveyancing process, so in the absence of it needing little or no negotiation then it could transpire to be a hindrance. It is not promoted amongst Shinfield conveyancing practitioners as a result. A further issue is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted purchaser should not expect to obtain an injunctive ruling by a court to prevent the vendor completing the sale to another buyer, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the reimbursement of abortive charges and, in restricted situations, the extra payment of damages.

I have todayfound out that Action Conveyancing have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Shinfield for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I check that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

I am buying a new build house in Shinfield with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not to tell my solicitor about the deal as it could affect my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Shinfield is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Shinfield are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Shinfield you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Shinfield may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
