The owners have rather brash sellers who has insisted on a exclusivity contract with a payment 6,000. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
Exclusivity contracts are agreements binding a home owner and prospective buyer granting the buyer a ‘clear field’ to the sale of the premises within a prescribed time frame. For all intents and purposes, a lock out agreement is a contract specifying that you will receive a contract at a later time being the contract for the actual sale. It tends to be used for buyer assurance though in many situations, the vendor may stand to benefit from such agreements as well. There are various positives and negatives to having an agreement but you need to check with your conveyancer but note that it may result in incurring extra in conveyancing fees. For this these agreements are rare when it comes to conveyancing in Aberdaron.

Intending to buy a maisonette in Aberdaron.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
I have been recommended by a number of selling agents in Aberdaron to get a quote from a solicitor using your seach tool. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to give any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
I only have Sixty One years left on my flat in Aberdaron. I need to get lease extension but my landlord is can not be found. What options are available to me?
If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the magistrate. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to locate the landlord. In some cases a specialist should be helpful to conduct investigations and to produce an expert document to be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a property lawyer in relation to devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court overseeing Aberdaron.
