The owners have rather assertive vendors who has insisted on a preliminary contract with a down payment 10k. Are such agreements sensible?
This kind of agreement is not the norm in Hanslope, conveyancers are often found to veer clients away from them as they detract from the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the lawyer is left exposed. Secondly, there is no certainty that just because the seller has signed a lock out agreement they will sell to you. They may breach the agreement if they are offered a large enough incentive to do so because an aggrieved claimant with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not equate the financial benefit that your vendor may secure by breaking the contract, no matter how morally reprehensible the behaviour is.

Have purchased a a terraced house in Hanslope , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Hanslope conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain the registration is concluded.
As far as conveyancing in Hanslope is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any other persons or bodies. Currently in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration takes place once the buyer has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Me and my wife are FTB’s just having agreed a price on a property in Hanslope, and are about to get solicitors appointed. We have used the different rating based websites and the quotes are from all over the country. Is it critical to have a Hanslope solicitor local to the prospective new home? I am happy to do all the communicating over the web, but I am thinking at some stage we may need to physically go into the conveyancing practitioner's office to sign papers?
On the whole there is no requirement to attend the office of your lawyer, they can post any relevant contracts to you, which you can sign and send back. Many home movers choose to use a locally based solicitor, but it is not essential for conveyancing in Hanslope.
