I can't travel far from Seaford. I would like to know the reason why all Seaford solicitors are not on all lender panels?
Mortgage companies point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The elimination of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. This resulted in banks and building societies culling less reputable firms off their books of approved property lawyers .
The owners have very pushy vendors who has suggested a lock out agreement with a down payment 6,000. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
Lock out contracts are contracts binding a property owner and purchaser giving the buyer the sole right to purchase the property for a certain period of time. Essentially, an exclusivity is a document specifying that you should be issued with a contract at a later time being the main conveyancing contract. It tends to be utilised for buyer protection though in some cases, the owner may enjoy an upside from such agreements as well. There are numerous positives and negatives to using an agreement but you need to check with your solicitor but note that it may end up incurring extra in conveyancing charges. In light of this these agreements are rare when it comes to conveyancing in Seaford.
