The sellers of the home we are looking to purchase hired a conveyancing practitioner in Retford who has recommended a exclusivity agreement with a payment 6,000. Are such agreements recommended for Retford conveyancing transactions?

This form of arrangement is unusual in Retford, conveyancers will often encourage clients away from them as they detract from the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor is left exposed. Furthermore, there is no assurance that just because the seller has executed an exclusivity contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be tempted to break the contract if they are offered a large enough financial inducement to do so because a wronged party with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not equalise the extra amount that your seller may obtain by breaching the contract, no matter how morally shameful the behaviour is.

I'm the single beneficiary of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Retford. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in October. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be impacted by that. Some banks would take a pragmatic view as this requirement is primarily there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.

I have instructed a Retford property lawyer having made sure that they are on the Principality conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Principality will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Principality will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Retford postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Principality, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Retford.

After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Retford agreed to, the vendors do nevertheless have a tied purchase. The vendors have offered on a flat, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Retford. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Santander started?

It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Retford conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Santander approved list. Concerning the subsequent steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many home buyers would apply for a home loan with Santander and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancer to move forward with searches.
