The sellers of the house we are looking to purchase are using a conveyancing firm in Cranbrook who has suggested a preliminary contract with a payment 6,000. Are such contracts the norm for Cranbrook conveyancing transactions?
This kind of preliminary agreement is not the norm in Cranbrook, conveyancers will often direct clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer is left exposed. Secondly, there is no guarantee that just because the seller has entered into a lock out agreement they will sell to you. They may be in contravention of the contract if they receive a big enough incentive to do so because a wronged buyer with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still be duty bound to show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not equalise the extra amount that your vendor may secure by breaching the contract, no matter how morally shameful it undoubtedly is.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Cranbrook is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

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.
