The vendors of the home we are hoping to buy hired a conveyancing practitioner in Woburn Sands who has insisted on a lock out contract with a deposit of 5k. Are such arrangements promoted for Woburn Sands conveyancing transactions?
There are a couple of primary drawbacks with executing a lock out contract (sometimes known as a shut-out contract) is that it can distract from progressing with the conveyancing transaction itself, so in the absence of it needing minimal or no negotiation then it could transpire to be unhelpful. It is not strongly advocated by Woburn Sands conveyancing practitioners for this reason. A supplemental issue is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer is very unlikely to obtain an injunctive ruling by a court to prevent the vendor completing the sale to another buyer, so the only remedy open via the contract will be the reimbursement of wasted charges and, in rare scenarios, the additional payment of penalties.
I am aiming to move house in October. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Woburn Sands. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from the property agent but this should only be done once the sellers conveyancers inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected.

We do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you choose a conveyancing in Woburn Sands or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Woburn Sands.

I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Woburn Sands. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their conveyancer. I paid an upfront payment of £225. Soon after, the solicitor called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Yorkshire BS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
