We have rather pushy vendors who has recommended a exclusivity contract with a down payment two thousand pounds. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
There are a couple of primary drawbacks with signing a lock out agreement (also known as an exclusivity agreement) is that it can distract from progressing with the conveyancing process, so unless it requires limited or no negotiation then it could transpire to be a hindrance. It is not particularly popular by Bridlington conveyancing lawyers as a result. A supplemental issue is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted buyer is not likely to secure an injunction to bar the vendor disposing of the property to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy open via the agreement will be the recovery of wasted costs and, in rare situations, the additional payment of damages.

I am employed by a long established estate agent office in Bridlington where we have witnessed a number of flat sales put at risk due to short leases. I have received inconsistent advice from local Bridlington conveyancing solicitors. Could you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
