We have very assertive vendors who has recommended a exclusivity agreement with a deposit two thousand pounds. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
Lock out agreements are agreements between a property seller and purchaser granting the buyer a ‘clear field’ to purchase the property for a set period of time. For all intents and purposes, a lock out is a document specifying that you will receive a contract at a later date being the main conveyancing contract. It is generally utilised for buyer assurance though in many situations, the vendor may enjoy an upside from such agreements as well. There are numerous positives and negatives to using them but you need to check with your conveyancer but note that it may end up costing you more in conveyancing charges. In light of this these contracts are avoided in relation to conveyancing in Winsford.
My wife and I are downsizing from our home in Winsford and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A high street Winsford lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using an internet conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Winsford. We have lived in Winsford for 5 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
The deeds to our house are lost. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Winsford 4 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?
As long as the title is registered the details of your ownership will be retained by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is possible to carry out a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and secure up to date copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually hold a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for a small fee.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Winsford I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Winsford in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
