We have very assertive vendors who has recommended a lock out contract with a down payment 6,000. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?

There are a couple of primary concerns with signing a lock out agreement (occasionally known as a no-shop agreement) is that it can distract from moving forward with the conveyancing transaction itself, so unless it requires limited or no negotiation then it may turn out to be unhelpful. It is not strongly advocated by Primrose Hill conveyancing lawyers for this reason. A supplemental concern is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer is extremely unlikely to be granted an injunctive ruling by a court to bar the seller completing the sale to a third party, so the only remedy open via the agreement will be the reimbursement of abortive charges and, in rare scenarios, the extra payment of penalties.

Notwithstanding that your previous Primrose Hill conveyancing lawyer is no longer available you can review your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the property. The accepted inference is that if the lease is silent, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you must obtain consent from your landlord or other appropriate person before subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet in the absence of first obtaining consent. The consent should not be unreasonably turned down. If the lease prohibits you from letting out the property you should ask your landlord for their consent.

My estate agent has suggested using their property lawyer for our conveyancing in Primrose Hill - Surely it’s easier to just use them?

It is not always the case and you are entitled to use whichever lawyer you prefer for your Primrose Hill home move. The conveyancer recommended by an estate agent may not necessarily be the right property lawyer, they may suggest their own conveyancing firm who are based remotely. In this instance you may not have contact with your conveyancing practitioner and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain progress reports.
