We have rather pushy sellers who has suggested a preliminary contract with a non-refundable deposit 10k. Are such agreements sensible?
There are a couple of main concerns with signing a lock out agreement (sometimes referred to as an exclusivity agreement) is that it takes away the focus from moving forward with the conveyancing work, so unless it requires limited or no negotiation then it could turn out to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not promoted by Arnside conveyancing practitioners for this reason. A further negative is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer is not likely to be issued with an injunctive ruling by a court to stop the seller disposing of the property to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy open via the contract will be the recovery of abortive costs and, in rare situations, the extra payment of penalties.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Arnside I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Arnside suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

I’m about to sell my ground floor apartment in Arnside. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have recently received a quarterly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you pay the invoice as usual given that all rents and maintenance charges should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

Please note that where the lease has less than 80 years it will affect the salability of the flat. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are willing to to proceed given the lease term. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely have to extend the lease at some point and you need to have some idea of what this will be. Remember, in most cases you will be be obliged to have been the owner of the premises for 24 months before you are legally able to carry out a lease extension. It would be sensible to enquire if there is anything that is prohibited in the lease. For example it is fairly common in Arnside leases that pets are not allowed in in a block in Arnside.
