The owners have very assertive vendors who has insisted on a lock out contract with a payment 6,000. Are such agreements sensible?
Lock out contracts are agreements binding a property owner and purchaser granting the buyer the sole right to purchase the premises for a set period of time. Essentially, a lock out is a document stating that you should have a contract at a later time being the contract for the actual sale. It is generally used for buyer assurance though in some cases, the proprietor may enjoy an upside from such agreements as well. There are many positives and negatives to having them but you need to check with your solicitor but note that it may end up costing you more in conveyancing charges. In light of this these agreements are unusual when it comes to conveyancing in Hednesford.
It is 10 years ago since I purchased my home in Hednesford. Conveyancing solicitors have just been retained on the sale but I can't find my deeds. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be retained by your mortgage company or they could stored 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 establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Hednesford involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
