The owners of the home we are hoping to buy have instructed a conveyancing practitioner in Harrold who has suggested a preliminary contract with a non-refundable deposit 6,000. Are such arrangements recommended for Harrold conveyancing transactions?
Exclusivity contracts are agreements between a home seller and prospective buyer giving the buyer a ‘clear field’ to purchase the property for a set period of time. For all intents and purposes, an exclusivity agreement is a contract stating that you will be issued with a contract at a later time which is the contract for the actual sale. It tends to be utilised for buyer confidence though in many situations, the owner may enjoy an upside from such agreements as well. There are numerous pros and cons to using an agreement but you should to check with your solicitor but note that it may result in costing you extra in conveyancing charges. For these reasons these agreements are rare in relation to conveyancing in Harrold.

Have just purchased a probate house at auction in Harrold. Conveyancing is needed. What is next?
Given that you are now legally committed yourself to purchase you now have to hire the services of a conveyancing practitioner soon as you will have a tight deadline in which to complete the transaction. Every auction property should have a bespoke legal set of papers. This will include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. In the case of leasehold premises the conveyancing papers should provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork relating to a leasehold property. You should pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. Do make sure that you have funds in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
I am expecting a AIP from Co-operative this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Co-operative recommend any Harrold solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Harrold solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Co-operative through the process.
I had an offer accepted on a property in Harrold on 16/12/2024, valuation was booked 2 days later, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Yorkshire BS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Are Yorkshire BS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Yorkshire BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
