We have very brash vendors who has suggested a preliminary agreement with a non-refundable deposit of 5k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
Lock out contracts are contracts binding a home vendor and prospective acquirer giving the buyer the sole right to purchase the property for a limited period of time. For all intents and purposes, an exclusivity is a document specifying that you should receive a contract at a later date which is the main conveyancing contract. It is generally utilised for buyer confidence though in some cases, the vendor may enjoy an upside from such agreements as well. There are many positives and negatives to using them but you need to check with your conveyancer but note that it may result in incurring extra in conveyancing fees. In light of this these agreements are avoided in relation to conveyancing in Kelsall.
What happens if my solicitor is suspended from the Yorkshire BS Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Kelsall?
First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

Your solicitor should review the registered title as conveyancing in Kelsall will on occasion reveal restrictions in the title deeds which restrict categories of works or require the consent of a 3rd party. Certain additions need local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
I have paid off my mortgage with Virgin Money. I assume I don't need a Kelsall conveyancing practitioner on the Virgin Money panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Virgin Money mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Virgin Money mortgage from the register. Virgin Money, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Virgin Money has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Virgin Money has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by TSB. Is it usual for TSB to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Kelsall is approved on their conveyancing panel? TSB have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for TSB to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the TSB conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I am attracted to a couple of maisonettes in Kelsall which have in the region of forty five years unexpired on the lease term. Do I need to be concerned?
A lease is a right to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As a lease shortens the saleability of the lease decreases and it becomes more costly to extend the lease. For this reason it is advisable to increase the term of the lease. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage lenders may be unwilling to lend money on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a protracted process. We recommend you seek professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this area.
