The owners have very pushy vendors who has suggested a lock out agreement with a down payment of 5k. Are such agreements sensible?
There are two primary concerns with signing a lock out agreement (also known as an exclusivity agreement) is that it can distract from making progress with the conveyancing process, so unless it requires minimal or no negotiation then it could turn out to be a hindrance. It is not particularly popular amongst Sheen Park conveyancing lawyers as a result. A supplemental issue is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer is very unlikely to be granted an injunction to prevent the seller selling to a third party, so the only remedy open via the agreement will be the recovery of wasted costs and, in rare situations, the additional payment of damages.

Barclays would not normally require firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Barclays list.
We expect to receive a OIP from Co-operative this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Co-operative recommend any Sheen Park solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Sheen Park solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Co-operative through the process.
