The sellers of the property we are hoping to buy are using a conveyancing solicitor in Earlsfield who has insisted on a exclusivity agreement with a deposit two thousand pounds. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
There are two main concerns with executing a lock out contract (sometimes known as a no-shop agreement) is that it diverts attention away from making progress with the conveyancing transaction itself, so in the absence of it needing limited or no negotiation then it may transpire to be unhelpful. It is not promoted amongst Earlsfield conveyancing solicitors as a result. A further concern is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved purchaser is not likely to obtain an injunctive ruling by a court to prohibit the owner disposing of the property to another buyer, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the recovery of abortive costs and, in limited situations, the extra payment of damages.
How does conveyancing in Earlsfield differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Earlsfield approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because new home sellers in Earlsfield tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Earlsfield or who has acted in the same development.
Am I right to be suspicious that estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending an internet conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Earlsfield conveyancing firm?
As is the case with many professional services, often referrals from relatives can be very helpful. Nevertheless there are lots of players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies might all put forward conveyancers to select. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there exists a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the right to appoint your preferred conveyancer. However, bear in mind that most mortgage providers specify a panel list of law firms you are obliged to use for the mortgage related work in your conveyancing.
