The sellers of the home we are purchasing have instructed a conveyancing practitioner in Duffield who has suggested a exclusivity agreement with a deposit of 5k. Are such agreements sensible?
Lock out contracts are contracts between a property vendor and prospective buyer granting the buyer a ‘clear field’ to the sale of the property within a prescribed time frame. For all intents and purposes, an exclusivity agreement is a contract specifying that you should receive a contract at a later date which is the main conveyancing contract. It tends to be used for buyer protection though in many situations, the proprietor may stand to benefit from such agreements as well. There are numerous positives and negatives to having an agreement but you need to check with your conveyancer but note that it may result in costing you extra in conveyancing fees. For this these agreements are unusual in relation to conveyancing in Duffield.

My wife and I are purchasing a house in Duffield. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a lawyer? At some point we will need to deposit money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?

I am expecting a DIP from Co-operative this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Co-operative recommend any Duffield solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Duffield solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Co-operative through the process.
About to purchase flat in Duffield. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Duffield lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.

My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent advised that the owners will only move forward if we instruct the agent's chosen conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Duffield
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this ultimatum. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to instruct your own,trusted Duffield conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will give the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.
