We have very brash sellers who has suggested a exclusivity agreement with a payment 6,000. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This form of preliminary agreement isn't common in Ashford Kent, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from focusing on the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor is left exposed. In addition, there is no assurance that just because the owner has executed an exclusivity agreement they will sell to you. They may be in contravention of the agreement if they are offered sufficient incentive to do so because an aggrieved claimant with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still have to establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not equalise the financial upside that your seller may obtain by reneging on the agreement, however morally shameful that may be.

Harry (my fiance) and I may need to let out our Ashford Kent basement flat for a while due to a new job. We instructed a Ashford Kent conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to seek any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
The lease governs the relationship between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will set out if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. Most leases in Ashford Kent do not contain subletting altogether – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the property. Instead, there is usually simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the tenancy agreement.
