The owners of the house we are hoping to buy have appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Bolsover who has insisted on a exclusivity agreement with a payment two thousand pounds. Are such agreements sensible?
This form of agreement is unusual in Bolsover, conveyancers are often found to direct clients away from them as they detract from the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer is left exposed. In addition, there is no assurance that just because the seller has executed an exclusivity contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the agreement if they are offered a big enough incentive to do so because a wronged claimant with the benefit of a lockoutcontract will still be obliged show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not equate the financial benefit that your vendor may secure by reneging on the agreement, however morally condemnable it undoubtedly is.

I have just started marketing my ground floor apartment in Bolsover. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have just had a yearly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is clear the invoice as normal as all rents and maintenance charges should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
