We have very pushy sellers who has recommended a preliminary agreement with a deposit 6,000. Are such contracts recommended for Olney conveyancing transactions?
This kind of preliminary agreement is not the norm in Olney, 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. Secondly, there is no certainty that just because the owner has signed an exclusivity contract they will sell to you. They may be inclined to break the agreement if they are offered sufficient financial inducement to do so because an aggrieved purchaser with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still be legally obliged to show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not compare to the extra amount that the owner may obtain by breaching the contract, no matter how morally reprehensible it undoubtedly is.

Frank (my husband) and I may need to let out our Olney basement flat temporarily due to a new job. We instructed a Olney conveyancing practice in 2001 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your last Olney conveyancing solicitor is not available you can review your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the property. The rule is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you need to obtain permission from your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. This means that you cannot sublet without prior consent. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
