We hired a Harpenden based lawyer for my conveyancing in Harpenden last week. Upon checking the Terms it is apparent thatI am liable for fees even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I go with them or select an on-line lawyer offering no move no charge conveyancing in Harpenden?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to offset the cases that do not go ahead. Also remember that such promotions generally do not protect you from expenditure such as Harpenden conveyancing search expenses.
We have rather assertive vendors who has insisted on a lock out agreement with a payment 10k. Are such agreements sensible?
There are two main drawbacks with entering into any lock out contract (occasionally termed a shut-out contract) is that it can distract from progressing with the conveyancing work, so unless it requires limited or no negotiation then it may transpire to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not particularly popular amongst Harpenden conveyancing lawyers for this reason. A supplemental concern is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer should not expect to obtain an injunctive ruling by a court to prohibit the vendor selling to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy open via the agreement will be the recovery of abortive costs and, in rare scenarios, the extra payment of damages.

I'm buying my first flat in Harpenden with a mortgage from Coventry Building Society. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my lawyer about the deal as it will affect my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
