Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Newent

We have very brash sellers who has insisted on a exclusivity contract with a non-refundable deposit 6,000. Are such contracts generally advanced for Newent conveyancing transactions?

There are two main drawbacks with entering into any lock out agreement (sometimes referred to as a shut-out contract) is that it diverts attention away from progressing with the conveyancing process, so unless it requires little or no negotiation then it may transpire to be a hindrance. It is not strongly advocated by Newent conveyancing practitioners as a result. A further concern is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved purchaser is not likely to secure an injunctive ruling by a court to prevent the seller selling to a third party, so the only remedy open via the agreement will be the reimbursement of abortive costs and, in restricted situations, the extra payment of penalties.

Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Newent is more expensive?

In summary, leasehold conveyancing in Newent and Gloucestershire usually necessitates additional hours of investigation compared to freehold conveyancing. This includes checking the lease terms, corresponding with the landlord about the service of required notices, securing up-to-date service charge and management information, obtaining the landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – regardless of the fact the lease has passed through many different property solicitors hands since it was first entered into.
