We have rather brash vendors who has insisted on a lock out contract with a payment 6,000. Are such agreements promoted for Bungay conveyancing transactions?
Lock out agreements are contracts binding a property vendor and purchaser giving the buyer a ‘clear field’ to purchase the premises within a prescribed time frame. Essentially, an exclusivity agreement is a contract specifying that you will have a contract at a later time being the contract for the actual sale. It is generally utilised for buyer protection though in some cases, the vendor may stand to benefit from such agreements as well. There are many pros and cons to having them but you need to check with your conveyancer but note that it may result in costing you extra in conveyancing fees. For this these agreements are avoided when it comes to conveyancing in Bungay.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Bungay is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Bungay are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Bungay you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bungay may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

I invested in buying a basement flat in Bungay, conveyancing formalities finalised October 2003. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Bungay with a long lease are worth £181,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 invoiced annually. The lease ceases on 21st October 2077
With just 51 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to be between £30,400 and £35,200 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations.

You should not take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
