Exclusivity agreements are agreements between a home vendor and purchaser giving the buyer a ‘clear field’ to purchase the premises within an agreed time frame. Essentially, a lock out agreement is a contract stating that you will receive a contract at a later time being the main conveyancing contract. It tends to be utilised for buyer confidence though in many situations, the owner may stand to benefit from such agreements as well. There are various pros and cons to using an agreement but you need to check with your conveyancer but note that it may result in costing you more in conveyancing charges. In light of this these agreements are avoided in relation to conveyancing in Farnworth.

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. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
