The owners have rather assertive sellers who has recommended a lock out contract with a down payment of 5k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This kind of agreement is not the norm in Llanbradach, conveyancers are often found to direct clients away from them as they detract from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor is left exposed. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that just because the seller has signed a lock out agreement they will sell to you. They may be tempted to break the agreement if they are offered a big enough financial inducement to do so because a wronged purchaser with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still be duty bound to show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not equalise the financial upside that the owner may gain by breaching the agreement, no matter how morally reprehensible the behaviour is.

I have been told by my lawyer that lack of right of way insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Llanbradach?
The right level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Halifax and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
We were going to get a OIP from Bank of Ireland this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Bank of Ireland recommend any Llanbradach solicitors on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Llanbradach solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Bank of Ireland through the process.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Llanbradach. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancer. I paid an on account payment of £150. Not long after, the lawyer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Virgin Money panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

We're new to the buying process - agreed a price, but the selling agent informed us that the seller will only issue a contract if we appoint their preferred solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Llanbradach
We suspect that the owner is not behind this ultimatum. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is counter productive. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to appoint your own,trusted Llanbradach conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by head office.
