The vendors of the property we are looking to purchase hired a conveyancing practitioner in Beddgelert who has recommended a exclusivity contract with a down payment 10k. Are such arrangements generally advanced for Beddgelert conveyancing transactions?
Lock out agreements are contracts binding a property seller and purchaser giving the buyer a ‘clear field’ to purchase the property for a set period of time. Essentially, an exclusivity agreement is a contract specifying that you will receive a contract at a later time being the contract for the actual sale. It is generally used for buyer confidence though in many situations, the seller may stand to benefit from such agreements as well. There are many pros and cons to having an agreement but you should to check with your conveyancer but beware that it may result in incurring extra in conveyancing fees. For these reasons these agreements are not popular in relation to conveyancing in Beddgelert.
My Conveyancer in Beddgelert is not on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd Approved Panel. Is it possible for me to use my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd list of approved lawyers?
The limited options open to you here include:
- Carry on with your existing Beddgelert lawyers but Godiva Mortgages Ltd will need to instruct a conveyancer on their list of acceptable firms. This will inevitably rack up the total conveyancing charges and result in frustration.
- Get a new lawyer to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd panel
I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Beddgelert I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Beddgelert for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

What advice can you give us when it comes to appointing a Beddgelert conveyancing firm to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
When appointing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Beddgelert conveyancing practice) it is essential that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We recommend that you talk with several firms including non Beddgelert conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be of use:
-
Can they put you in touch with clients in Beddgelert who can give a testimonial?

How is the lease structured? How much is the annual maintenance fee and ground rent?
