The owners have very assertive sellers who has suggested a lock out contract with a payment of 5k. Are such agreements generally advanced for Bridport conveyancing transactions?
There are two primary downsides with executing a lock out contract (sometimes referred to as a no-shop agreement) is that it diverts attention away from progressing with the conveyancing work, so in the absence of it needing little or no negotiation then it may transpire to be a hindrance. It is not strongly advocated by Bridport conveyancing practitioners as a result. A supplemental negative is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted purchaser should not expect to secure an injunction to prohibit the owner completing the sale to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy available under the contract will be the reimbursement of abortive costs and, in restricted circumstances, the extra payment of damages.
When can the exchange of contracts happen for sale conveyancing in Bridport and do I need to be at the lawyers branch?
Where you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Bridport you are invited in to sign contracts.

The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Bridport)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
I purchased my house on 12 May and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Bridport advises it will be formalised inside ten days. Are properties in Bridport particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Bridport is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. Currently in the region of 80% of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration takes place after the buyer has moved in to the premises thus an expedited registration is not always top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
