The sellers of the house we are hoping to buy hired a conveyancing firm in Haddenham who has recommended a exclusivity contract with a non-refundable deposit of 5k. Are such contracts appropriate for Haddenham conveyancing transactions?
This type of arrangement isn't frequently used in Haddenham, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Furthermore, there is no certainty that just because the owner has signed an exclusivity contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be motivated to break the agreement if they receive a big enough financial inducement to do so because an aggrieved purchaser with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still be duty bound to show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not compare to the financial benefit that your vendor may secure by breaking the agreement, however morally unworthy that may be.

My solicitor has informed me that lack of right of way insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Haddenham conveyancing?
The appropriate level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
Are all Haddenham Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel?
It is true that some lenders now utilise the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
My sealed bid on a detached house in Haddenham has been accepted, the sellers do however have a connected purchase. The owners have offered on a flat, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Haddenham. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Kent Reliance going?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Haddenham conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. As to the next stages this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some buyers will apply for a home loan with Kent Reliance and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their conveyancer to move forward with searches.
I was pointed in your direction by numerous property agents in Haddenham to find a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to market your services over and above another?
We refuse to offer any referral fee for directing people to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
