The owners of the property we are purchasing have appointed a conveyancing firm in Crabtree who has insisted on a exclusivity contract with a non-refundable deposit of 5k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
Lock out contracts are contracts binding a home owner and prospective acquirer giving the buyer a ‘clear field’ to the sale of the premises for a limited period of time. For all intents and purposes, an exclusivity agreement is a contract stating that you should receive a contract at a later date being the main conveyancing contract. It tends to be used for buyer assurance though in many situations, the seller may stand to benefit from such agreements as well. There are numerous positives and negatives to having an agreement but you need to check with your conveyancer but note that it may end up costing you more in conveyancing charges. In light of these reasons these agreements are avoided when it comes to conveyancing in Crabtree.
It is 10 years ago since I purchased my home in Crabtree. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been retained on the sale but I am unable to track down my title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be with the mortgage company or they may still be with the lawyers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Crabtree relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.

Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
