The owners have rather brash sellers who has insisted on a exclusivity contract with a payment 6,000. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
There are a couple of primary concerns with entering into any lock out contract (sometimes termed a no-shop agreement) is that it diverts attention away from making progress with the conveyancing transaction itself, so unless it requires little or no negotiation then it could turn out to be a hindrance. It is not particularly popular amongst Oxted conveyancing practitioners for this reason. The other main negative is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted purchaser is extremely unlikely to be issued with injunctive relief to bar the seller selling to a third party, so the only remedy open via the agreement will be the recovery of abortive costs and, in rare scenarios, the additional payment of penalties.

I have paid off my mortgage with Principality. I assume I don't need a Oxted conveyancer on the Principality panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Principality 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 Principality mortgage from the register. Principality, 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 Principality has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Principality has instructed the Land Registry to do so
