The vendors of the property we are purchasing are using a conveyancing practitioner in Cowbridge who has recommended a exclusivity agreement with a payment two thousand pounds. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?

There are two primary downsides with entering into any lock out agreement (occasionally termed an exclusivity agreement) is that it takes away the focus from making progress with the conveyancing process, so unless it requires minimal or no negotiation then it may transpire to be unhelpful. It is not strongly advocated amongst Cowbridge conveyancing solicitors as a result. A further issue is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved purchaser should not expect to be granted injunctive relief to prevent the owner disposing of the property to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy open via the agreement will be the reimbursement of wasted costs and, in rare circumstances, the extra payment of damages.

    You should want to find out as much as possible about the managing agents as they will either make living at the property much simpler or uncomfortable. As the proprietor of a leasehold property you are often in the clutches of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to day to day matters such as the upkeep of the communal areas. Enquire of other tenants what they think of their management. In conclusion, be sure you discover the dates that you are obliged pay the service charge to the appropriate party and precisely how they are spending that money. Please note that where the lease has fewer than 80 years it will affect the salability of the property. It is worth checking with your bank that they are content with the length of the lease. A short lease means that you will probably have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and it is worth discovering what this will be. Remember, in most cases you will be be obliged to have been the owner of the premises for two years before you are entitled to extend the lease.
