The sellers of the home we are looking to purchase hired a conveyancing solicitor in Lake District who has insisted on a exclusivity agreement with a down payment two thousand pounds. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
There are a couple of main concerns with signing a lock out contract (occasionally termed an exclusivity agreement) is that it takes away the focus from moving forward with the conveyancing process, so in the absence of it needing limited or no negotiation then it could turn out to be a hindrance. It is not strongly advocated amongst Lake District conveyancing solicitors as a result. A supplemental concern is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted buyer is very unlikely to secure an injunction to prohibit the owner disposing of the property to another buyer, so the only remedy available under the contract will be the reimbursement of wasted charges and, in rare scenarios, the additional payment of damages.

I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Lake District. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
