The owners of the house we are hoping to buy have instructed a conveyancing firm in Cann Hall who has suggested a preliminary agreement with a non-refundable deposit 6,000. Are such agreements sensible?
There are two main drawbacks with signing a lock out contract (also termed a shut-out contract) is that it takes away the focus from moving forward with the conveyancing transaction itself, so in the absence of it needing minimal or no negotiation then it may turn out to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not particularly popular amongst Cann Hall conveyancing practitioners as a result. The other main concern is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer should not expect to win injunctive relief to prohibit the vendor selling to another buyer, so the only remedy open via the contract will be the recovery of abortive charges and, in restricted circumstances, the extra payment of damages.
My husband and I wish to acquire a 1 bedroom flat in Cann Hall with a mortgage from Accord Mortgages Ltd.We have a Cann Hall conveyancing solicitor but Accord Mortgages Ltd says he's not listed on their "panel". It seems we have no choice but to instruct a Accord Mortgages Ltd panel firm or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for a Accord Mortgages Ltd panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that conveyancers needs to be on the Accord Mortgages Ltd approved list. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Accord Mortgages Ltd
