Exclusivity agreements are agreements between a home owner and purchaser granting the buyer the sole right to the sale of the property within an agreed time frame. Essentially, an exclusivity agreement is a contract specifying that you will have a contract at a later time which is the main conveyancing contract. It is generally utilised for buyer protection though in some cases, the seller may stand to benefit from such agreements as well. There are various positives and negatives to using them but you need to check with your conveyancer but beware that it may result in incurring extra in conveyancing charges. In light of these reasons these contracts are avoided in relation to conveyancing in Bexleyheath.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)

I only have 62 years unexpired on my lease in Bexleyheath. I now wish to get lease extension but my landlord is absent. What are my options?
If you meet the appropriate requirements, 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 granted an extra 90 years by the Court. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you have made all reasonable attempts to locate the lessor. In some cases a specialist would be helpful to try and locate and prepare a report which can be accepted by the court as evidence that the landlord is indeed missing. It is advisable to get professional help from a solicitor both on proving the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court covering Bexleyheath.
