The owners of the house we are looking to purchase are using a conveyancing solicitor in Moss Nook who has suggested a preliminary contract with a non-refundable deposit 10k. Are such contracts the norm for Moss Nook conveyancing transactions?

There are a couple of main drawbacks with signing a lock out contract (occasionally referred to as a shut-out contract) is that it diverts attention away from moving forward with the conveyancing process, so unless it requires limited or no negotiation then it could transpire to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not promoted by Moss Nook conveyancing lawyers for this reason. The other main issue is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted buyer is very unlikely to obtain injunctive relief to prohibit the vendor selling to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the reimbursement of wasted costs and, in restricted scenarios, the additional payment of penalties.

We are purchasing a house in Moss Nook. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we will need to deposit our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?

My wife and I have organised a further advance on our mortgage from Clydesdale as we intend to conduct improvements to our property in Moss Nook. Do we need to select a high street Moss Nook solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel to handle the legals?

Clydesdale don't usually require a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Clydesdale list.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Moss Nook is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Moss Nook are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Moss Nook you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Moss Nook may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
