The vendors of the house we are looking to purchase are using a conveyancing practitioner in Llandaff who has suggested a preliminary agreement with a down payment two thousand pounds. Are such agreements sensible?
There are a couple of main concerns with signing a lock out agreement (sometimes referred to as a shut-out contract) is that it diverts attention away from making progress with the conveyancing process, so in the absence of it needing little or no negotiation then it may turn out to be unhelpful. It is not strongly advocated by Llandaff conveyancing practitioners for this reason. The other main issue is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted buyer is extremely unlikely to win an injunction to prevent the seller selling to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy available under the contract will be the reimbursement of abortive costs and, in limited scenarios, the extra payment of damages.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Llandaff is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Llandaff you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

We own a leasehold flat in Llandaff. Conveyancing was completed in 21012. I have heard that I mustn’t let the the remaining lease term to get too short. What is the reasoning?
Llandaff domestic long term leases are for a prescribed period - normally 99 years when they started. However a significant flats in Llandaff were built or converted in the 60’s and so such leases now have less than 80 years remaining. This may sound like plenty of time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders tend to require leases to have at least 75 years left to adequate security. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are getting close to seventy five years. To enhance your property value you should be thinking about whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. Please note that there are strong financial reasons to doing so before the lease hits 80 years as when the lease is below 80 years the premium you have to pay to extend starts to increase.
