The owners have rather brash sellers who has insisted on a exclusivity agreement with a down payment of 5k. Are such contracts appropriate for Wynyard conveyancing transactions?
There are two primary concerns with signing a lock out agreement (occasionally termed a shut-out contract) is that it can distract from progressing with the conveyancing transaction itself, so in the absence of it needing limited or no negotiation then it could transpire to be unhelpful. It is not particularly popular by Wynyard conveyancing lawyers for this reason. A further issue is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted buyer is not likely to obtain an injunctive ruling by a court to prohibit the seller completing the sale to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy available under the contract will be the reimbursement of abortive costs and, in rare situations, the additional payment of damages.
My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Wynyard and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Wynyard conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Wynyard. Having lived in Wynyard for six years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You should check with 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)
About to purchase a new build apartment in Wynyard. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Set out below are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Wynyard
-
Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Wynyard I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wynyard suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
