The owners of the property we are looking to purchase have instructed a conveyancing firm in Hawarden who has recommended a exclusivity agreement with a payment two thousand pounds. Are such agreements sensible?
There are a couple of main concerns with executing a lock out contract (occasionally referred to as an exclusivity agreement) is that it takes away the focus from making progress with the conveyancing transaction itself, so unless it requires limited or no negotiation then it may transpire to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not promoted by Hawarden conveyancing solicitors for this reason. A further issue is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer is very unlikely to win an injunctive ruling by a court to stop the seller selling to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy available under the contract will be the reimbursement of abortive charges and, in rare scenarios, the extra payment of damages.

Will our lawyer be raising questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Hawarden.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers specialising in conveyancing in Hawarden. Some people will purchase a property in Hawarden, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a various checks that can be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Hawarden. The conventional set of information sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard inquiry of the vendor to discover if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that the property has been flooded in past which is not revealed by the owner, then a purchaser may commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an inaccurate reply. The purchaser’s conveyancers may also carry out an enviro report. This should indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be conducted.
My wife and I have a terraced Edwardian property in Hawarden. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Accord Mortgages Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for 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 Hawarden and other areas of 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 lenders. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.
