The owners of the house we are looking to purchase have appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Sutton in Ashfield who has insisted on a exclusivity contract with a payment two thousand pounds. Are such contracts generally advanced for Sutton in Ashfield conveyancing transactions?
Exclusivity agreements are contracts between a home vendor and prospective buyer giving the buyer a ‘clear field’ to purchase the property for a certain period of time. For all intents and purposes, a lock out agreement is a contract specifying that you will be issued with a contract at a later date being the contract for the actual sale. It tends to be utilised for buyer assurance though in some cases, the seller may stand to benefit from such agreements as well. There are numerous pros and cons to having them but you need to check with your lawyer but note that it may result in costing you extra in conveyancing charges.

I'm buying a new build house in Sutton in Ashfield with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about this deal as it may put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

New build sellers have put forward a conveyancing practitioner and I've obtained a quote from them. It's nearly three hundred pounds cheaper than my own Sutton in Ashfield lawyer. Should I use them?
Housebuilders frequently have lists of lawyers who expedite matters and who know the seller’s documentation and property lawyer. As many developers offer an incentive to select a preferred conveyancer for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a developer won't suggest a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction stall when they demand an exchange within a tight deadline. A counter-argument for not opting for the suggested property lawyer is that they may prove unwilling to 'push' your interests at the risk of upsetting the developer. If you worry that this may be the case you should remain with your local Sutton in Ashfield conveyancer.
