I am not in a position to travel far from Sidmouth. Please clarify why all Sidmouth aren't included on all bank panels?
A decade ago most mortgage companies displayed an attitude to risk which differs from the current day. The financial regulator in 2010 carried out a thematic review into property fraud which concluded: know the on your panel. Consequently, lenders have since requiredmore data from law firms about their processes and the staff employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Many law practices have been excluded from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy disciplinary record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to satisfy the minimum volume of transactions the mortgage companies set.
We have rather brash vendors who has recommended a lock out agreement with a deposit two thousand pounds. Are such agreements sensible?
There are a couple of primary concerns with executing a lock out contract (also known as a no-shop agreement) is that it diverts attention away from making progress with the conveyancing work, so in the absence of it needing limited or no negotiation then it may turn out to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not promoted amongst Sidmouth conveyancing solicitors as a result. A further negative is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved purchaser is extremely unlikely to obtain an injunction to prohibit the seller completing the sale to a third party, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the recovery of wasted costs and, in limited situations, the extra payment of damages.
