The owners of the property we are purchasing have appointed a conveyancing practitioner in Corston who has insisted on a lock out contract with a payment two thousand pounds. Are such arrangements recommended for Corston conveyancing transactions?

There are two main downsides with executing a lock out contract (occasionally termed a no-shop agreement) is that it takes away the focus from progressing with the conveyancing work, so in the absence of it needing minimal or no negotiation then it could turn out to be unhelpful. It is not strongly advocated by Corston conveyancing solicitors as a result. A further issue is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted buyer is extremely unlikely to secure an injunction to prohibit the owner selling to a third party, so the only remedy available under the contract will be the reimbursement of wasted charges and, in restricted scenarios, the extra payment of damages.

We are planning to acquire a flat and need a conveyancing solicitor in Corston who is on the Leeds Building Society solicitor panel. Can you recommend a local conveyancing firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Leeds Building Society . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Corston.

I'm buying my first flat in Corston benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about the extras as it could put at risk my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
