The sellers of the property we are looking to purchase have appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Beddau who has recommended a exclusivity agreement with a payment 10k. Are such agreements sensible?
Lock out contracts are agreements between a property owner and prospective buyer giving the buyer a ‘clear field’ to the sale of the premises within a prescribed time frame. For all intents and purposes, an exclusivity is a document stating that you should receive a contract at a later time which is the main conveyancing contract. It is generally used for buyer confidence though in many situations, the proprietor may stand to benefit from such agreements as well. There are various positives and negatives to having an agreement but you need to check with your conveyancer but beware that it may result in costing you more in conveyancing charges. In light of this these agreements are rare when it comes to conveyancing in Beddau.

I have a renovated Georgian property in Beddau. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Platform Home Loans Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. Is it worth asking Platform Home Loans Ltd to clarify?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Beddau and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Beddau. 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 conveyancing.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Beddau
-
There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. 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.
How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial premises in Beddau and how can your lawyers assist?
The particular law that you refer to provides protection to business tenants, granting the dueness to make a request to court for a new lease and remain in occupation when the lease comes to an end. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
