The owners have rather pushy sellers who has suggested a lock out agreement with a non-refundable deposit 10k. Are such contracts promoted for Fairford conveyancing transactions?
There are two main downsides with executing a lock out agreement (occasionally known as a shut-out contract) is that it takes away the focus from moving forward with the conveyancing work, so unless it requires minimal or no negotiation then it may turn out to be unhelpful. It is not particularly popular by Fairford conveyancing solicitors for this reason. A further negative is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer is extremely unlikely to win injunctive relief to prohibit the seller disposing of the property to another buyer, so the only remedy open via the contract will be the recovery of wasted costs and, in rare circumstances, the additional payment of penalties.

4 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Fairford completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in Fairford differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Fairford approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because developers in Fairford tend to buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Fairford or who has acted in the same development.
