The owners have rather assertive sellers who has recommended a lock out agreement with a non-refundable deposit of 5k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This form of preliminary agreement isn't frequently used in Pendlebury, conveyancers are not keen on them as they divert attention from the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Furthermore, there is no certainty that just because the seller has entered into an exclusivity agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be tempted to break the agreement if they receive a large enough incentive to do so because an aggrieved party with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still be obliged show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not equate the extra amount that your seller may obtain by reneging on the agreement, however morally shameful that may be.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Pendlebury. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Leeds Building Society have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is Leeds Building Society your lawyer must check the formal requirements contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Leeds Building Society. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Leeds Building Society where a lease does not comply with these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Pendlebury.
We expect to receive a DIP from Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance recommend any Pendlebury solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Pendlebury solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Kent Reliance through the process.
I have paid off my mortgage with Lloyds. I assume I don't need a Pendlebury conveyancer on the Lloyds panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Lloyds mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Lloyds mortgage from the register. Lloyds, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Lloyds has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Lloyds has instructed the Land Registry to do so
