The vendors of the home we are hoping to buy are using a conveyancing solicitor in Ripley who has recommended a lock out contract with a down payment 6,000. Are such agreements promoted for Ripley conveyancing transactions?
There are two primary concerns with entering into any lock out agreement (also known as a shut-out contract) is that it can distract from progressing with the conveyancing work, so in the absence of it needing limited or no negotiation then it could transpire to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not promoted amongst Ripley conveyancing solicitors as a result. The other main concern is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted buyer is not likely to secure injunctive relief to prevent the owner selling to a third party, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the reimbursement of wasted charges and, in rare circumstances, the additional payment of damages.

I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Ripley. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure 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).
