The vendors of the property we are hoping to buy have instructed a conveyancing solicitor in Pershore who has suggested a exclusivity contract with a down payment 10k. Are such agreements recommended for Pershore conveyancing transactions?
There are a couple of main drawbacks with signing a lock out contract (occasionally termed a shut-out contract) is that it takes away the focus from progressing with the conveyancing transaction itself, so unless it requires minimal or no negotiation then it may transpire to be a hindrance. It is not strongly advocated amongst Pershore conveyancing lawyers as a result. A further issue is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted purchaser is not likely to obtain an injunctive ruling by a court to bar the seller disposing of the property to a third party, so the only remedy open via the agreement will be the reimbursement of wasted charges and, in limited circumstances, the additional payment of penalties.

I am buying a property in Pershore. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Bank of Ireland be concerned?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Bank of Ireland your lawyer must follow the formal requirements contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease fails to meet these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Pershore.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Pershore. I have a mortgage offer with Aldermore. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Aldermore, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the estate agent informed us that the owners will only proceed if we use their recommended lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Pershore
It is improbable the vendors are driving this. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Contact the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to use your own,trusted Pershore conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing figures set by corporate headquarters.
