The owners have rather pushy vendors who has recommended a preliminary contract with a non-refundable deposit 10k. Are such contracts appropriate for Mancot conveyancing transactions?
This type of arrangement isn't common in Mancot, conveyancers will often try and steer clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Secondly, there is no assurance that just because the seller has executed an exclusivity agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the contract if they receive a big enough offer to do so because a wronged claimant with the benefit of a lockoutcontract will still have to show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not amount to the extra amount that your seller may gain by breaching the contract, however morally reprehensible it undoubtedly is.

It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Mancot completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
