We have rather pushy sellers who has suggested a lock out contract with a non-refundable deposit of 5k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This form of agreement isn't common in Sedbergh, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from focusing on the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer is left exposed. In addition, there is no certainty that just because the seller has entered into an exclusivity contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be inclined to break the agreement if they receive sufficient incentive to do so because a wronged claimant with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not compare to the financial upside that your vendor may obtain by reneging on the contract, however morally shameful that may be.
I am selling my apartment in Sedbergh. Does the have to be on the conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?

It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently at the moment.

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
