We have rather assertive sellers who has insisted on a lock out contract with a non-refundable deposit of 5k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
There are two main drawbacks with executing a lock out contract (sometimes known as an exclusivity agreement) is that it takes away the focus from making progress with the conveyancing transaction itself, so in the absence of it needing limited or no negotiation then it could transpire to be a hindrance. It is not promoted by Brymbo conveyancing practitioners for this reason. The other main concern is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved purchaser is not likely to obtain injunctive relief to prevent the owner disposing of the property to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the reimbursement of abortive costs and, in rare scenarios, the extra payment of penalties.
We are buying a end of terrace house in Brymbo. The intention is to an extension at the rear at the property.Will legal investigations on the property involve checks to determine if these alterations are allowed?
Your conveyancer should review the deeds as conveyancing in Brymbo will on occasion identify restrictions in the title deeds which restrict categories of changes or need the permission of a 3rd party. Some additions need local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be sensible to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
I'm the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Brymbo. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in August. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be impacted by that. Most lenders would take a pragmatic view as this clause is principally there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
At last I have had an offer on a maisonette in Brymbo accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on a flat, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Brymbo. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Skipton started?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Brymbo conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your property lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Regarding the next stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some buyers will apply for a home loan with Skipton and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their conveyancer to proceed with searches.
I need some fast conveyancing in Brymbo as I am under pressure to complete inside 2 weeks. A home loan is not required. Is it possible to escape the need for conveyancing searches to save money and time?
