The owners of the property we are purchasing have appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Tintern who has suggested a lock out agreement with a payment 10k. Are such contracts appropriate for Tintern conveyancing transactions?
This type of preliminary agreement is not the norm in Tintern, conveyancers will often sway clients away from them as they detract from the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Secondly, there is no guarantee that just because the seller has executed a lock out contract they will sell to you. They may breach the contract if they are offered sufficient offer to do so because an aggrieved claimant with the benefit of a lockoutcontract will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not equalise the extra amount that the owner may gain by breaking the agreement, however morally condemnable that may be.

I purchased my apartment on 3 July and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Tintern said it would be formalised in less than a month. Are properties in Tintern particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Tintern registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. At present roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration occurs after the purchaser has moved in to the property so an expedited registration is not typically top priority but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I'm buying my first flat in Tintern with a loan from Nottingham Building Society. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not to tell my solicitor about this side-deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
