    It's not a law as such. It's part of the solicitors code of conduct to advise all parties of a contract race (I believe).

    So if, for example, the seller was doing the conveyancing himself, there wuld be no law forcing him to advise each buyer of the contract race........

    Apologies, I think you may very well be correct.

    Having read a little more it is not in fact law, but a professional obligation solicitors adhere to following the Law Society/SRA code of conduct.
