We have rather assertive vendors who has suggested a preliminary agreement with a down payment 6,000. Are such agreements sensible?
There are a couple of main downsides with signing a lock out contract (occasionally termed a shut-out contract) is that it diverts attention away from moving forward with the conveyancing process, so unless it requires limited or no negotiation then it could transpire to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not particularly popular by New Mills conveyancing practitioners for this reason. A supplemental negative is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer is not likely to be issued with an injunctive ruling by a court to stop the vendor disposing of the property to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy open via the agreement will be the recovery of wasted charges and, in rare scenarios, the extra payment of penalties.
My fiance and I are purchasing a newbuild flat in New Mills with a mortgage from Nottingham Building Society.We use our New Mills conveyancing lawyer but Nottingham Building Society says her practice is not on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Nottingham Building Society panel firm or keep our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Nottingham Building Society use our lawyer?
No, not really. The home loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that solicitors must be on the Nottingham Building Society approved list. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Nottingham Building Society
