The sellers of the house we are purchasing have instructed a conveyancing firm in Peacehaven who has insisted on a exclusivity agreement with a deposit two thousand pounds. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This type of preliminary agreement is unusual in Peacehaven, conveyancers will often sway clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Furthermore, there is no certainty that just because the owner has executed a lock out contract they will sell to you. They may be in contravention of the contract if they receive a large enough financial inducement to do so because an aggrieved claimant with the benefit of a lockoutcontract will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not compare to the financial upside that your seller may gain by reneging on the contract, no matter how morally unworthy the behaviour is.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Peacehaven is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Peacehaven are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Peacehaven you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Peacehaven may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
Am I best advised to go with a Peacehaven conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am purchasing? An old friend can conduct the legal formalities however his firm is located a couple of hundredkilometers drive away.
The benefit of a high street Peacehaven conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to sign documents, deliver your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. Having local Peacehaven know how is a benefit. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust instructed your friend and the majority were impressed that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Peacehaven conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being round the corner.
When it comes to leasehold conveyancing in Peacehaven what are the most common lease defects?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Peacehaven. Most leases are unique and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain provisions are not included. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall A duty to insure the building
You could have difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Lloyds TSB Bank, Barnsley Building Society, and Godiva Mortgages Ltd all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, obliging the purchaser to withdraw.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
