The vendors of the house we are looking to purchase have appointed a conveyancing solicitor in North Plymouth who has recommended a preliminary contract with a down payment of 5k. Are such contracts generally advanced for North Plymouth conveyancing transactions?
This kind of contract is unusual in North Plymouth, conveyancers are often inclined to veer clients away from them as they divert attention from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor is left exposed. Secondly, there is no certainty that just because the seller has executed a lock out contract they will complete the sale with you. They may breach the contract if they are offered sufficient incentive to do so because a wronged claimant with the benefit of a lockoutcontract will still have to show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not compare to the extra amount that your seller may secure by reneging on the contract, no matter how morally reprehensible the behaviour is.

I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, are being problematic. The North Plymouth solicitor who is on the conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
