The vendors of the house we are looking to purchase have appointed a conveyancing firm in Enfield Highway who has recommended a exclusivity agreement with a payment of 5k. Are such agreements sensible?
There are two main concerns with executing a lock out agreement (occasionally known as a shut-out contract) is that it diverts attention away from making progress with the conveyancing work, so in the absence of it needing limited or no negotiation then it could transpire to be unhelpful. It is not particularly popular amongst Enfield Highway conveyancing lawyers for this reason. A further issue is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved purchaser should not expect to secure injunctive relief to stop the owner disposing of the property to a third party, so the only remedy open via the contract will be the recovery of abortive costs and, in limited circumstances, the extra payment of penalties.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Enfield Highway. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender TSB be concerned?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with TSB your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for TSB. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to TSB where a lease fails to satisfy these conditions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Enfield Highway.
My offer was accepted on a property in Enfield Highway on 23/3/2026, valuation was booked 4 days later, all came back fine. Conveyancer instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Barclays and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Are Barclays entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Barclays to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
