The sellers of the property we are hoping to buy hired a conveyancing firm in Cheadle who has recommended a exclusivity agreement with a non-refundable deposit of 5k. Are such agreements sensible?

There are two primary concerns with executing a lock out contract (also termed an exclusivity agreement) is that it can distract from making progress with the conveyancing process, so unless it requires limited or no negotiation then it could transpire to be a hindrance. It is not strongly advocated by Cheadle conveyancing lawyers as a result. A supplemental concern is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted purchaser is very unlikely to be granted an injunction to prohibit the seller disposing of the property to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy available under the contract will be the recovery of wasted costs and, in restricted situations, the additional payment of damages.

How does conveyancing in Cheadle differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Cheadle come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because builders in Cheadle usually buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Cheadle or who has acted in the same development.

Our conveyancer has advised that he intends to complete and exchange simultaneously on the sale of our £400,000 maisonette in Cheadle on Monday in a week. The landlords agents has quoted £420 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and previous years statements of service charge. Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a flat conveyance in Cheadle?

Cheadle conveyancing on leasehold flats often requires the purchaser’s solicitor submitting questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to respond to such questions most will be willing to assist. They may charge a reasonable administration fee for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average costs for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some cases it is in excess of £800. The administration charge invoiced by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of rights and obligations in relation to administration charges, otherwise the charge is not strictly payable. In reality one has no choice but to pay whatever is demanded if you want to complete the sale of your home.
