The owners of the home we are hoping to buy hired a conveyancing solicitor in Osterley who has recommended a lock out agreement with a payment of 5k. Are such agreements sensible?
This form of contract is unusual in Osterley, conveyancers are often inclined to direct clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor is left exposed. Furthermore, there is no certainty that just because the owner has signed an exclusivity contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the contract if they are offered sufficient incentive to do so because an aggrieved party with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still have to show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not equalise the financial upside that the owner may gain by reneging on the contract, however morally unworthy the behaviour is.
Various internet forums that I have frequented warn that are the primary cause of obstruction in Osterley conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

Searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Osterley.
2 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Osterley concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 residence 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.
