The vendors of the house we are looking to purchase are using a conveyancing firm in Bloxham who has insisted on a exclusivity contract with a deposit two thousand pounds. Are such agreements sensible?
This kind of arrangement is not the norm in Bloxham, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from focusing on the main conveyancing focus and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor is left exposed. Secondly, there is no assurance that just because the owner has executed an exclusivity contract they will sell to you. They may be in contravention of the agreement if they receive a big enough offer to do so because a wronged party with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still be legally obliged to establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not equalise the extra amount that your seller may secure by breaking the contract, no matter how morally condemnable that may be.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Bloxham I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bloxham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
