The vendors of the house we are looking to purchase are using a conveyancing firm in Fulford who has suggested a exclusivity contract with a payment 10k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
Exclusivity contracts are contracts between a home seller and purchaser granting the buyer the sole right to the sale of the premises for a set period of time. Essentially, a lock out is a document specifying that you should have a contract at a later date which is the main conveyancing contract. It tends to be utilised for buyer assurance though in many situations, the proprietor may stand to benefit from such agreements as well. There are numerous pros and cons to having an agreement but you need to check with your conveyancer but beware that it may result in incurring more in conveyancing fees. In light of this these contracts are not popular when it comes to conveyancing in Fulford.

Me and my brother purchased a renovated Georgian house in Fulford. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and TSB. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Fulford and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
