The vendors of the home we are purchasing hired a conveyancing practitioner in Croesyceiliog who has recommended a lock out contract with a down payment 6,000. Are such agreements sensible?
This type of arrangement is not the norm in Croesyceiliog, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. In addition, there is no guarantee that just because the owner has executed a lock out contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the agreement if they are offered sufficient incentive to do so because a wronged party with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still be duty bound to show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not compare to the extra amount that the owner may obtain by breaching the agreement, no matter how morally condemnable it undoubtedly is.
My apartment in Croesyceiliog is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Will the lawyer have to be required to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Barclays conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently at the moment.

A buyer’s lawyers may also commission an enviro report. This should indicate whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be carried out.
