The sellers of the home we are looking to purchase have appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Armthorpe who has insisted on a exclusivity agreement with a payment of 5k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
Exclusivity agreements are agreements binding a property owner and prospective acquirer granting the buyer the sole right to purchase the premises for a limited period of time. Essentially, an exclusivity is a document stating that you will be issued with a contract at a later time which is the main conveyancing contract. It is generally used for buyer confidence though in some cases, the seller may stand to benefit from such agreements as well. There are many positives and negatives to having an agreement but you need to check with your conveyancer but beware that it may end up incurring extra in conveyancing charges. In light of these reasons these contracts are avoided when it comes to conveyancing in Armthorpe.

I am buying a new build flat in Armthorpe. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Armthorpe
-
Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Please supply a car parking plan. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.
I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Armthorpe I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Armthorpe suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign 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 solicitor regarding this matter.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business offices in Armthorpe and how can your lawyers assist?
The 1954 Act provides a safeguard to business tenants, granting the a statutory right to apply to court for a new tenancy and remain in occupation when the lease reaches an end. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing practices who use the act for protection and assist with commercial conveyancing in Armthorpe
