The sellers of the property we are looking to purchase are using a conveyancing practitioner in Crick who has insisted on a lock out agreement with a non-refundable deposit of 5k. Are such contracts the norm for Crick conveyancing transactions?
There are two main concerns with entering into any lock out agreement (occasionally termed a shut-out contract) is that it takes away the focus from moving forward with the conveyancing transaction itself, so unless it requires little or no negotiation then it may turn out to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not particularly popular by Crick conveyancing lawyers as a result. The other main concern is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer is not likely to obtain injunctive relief to prohibit the owner selling to a third party, so the only remedy open via the agreement will be the recovery of abortive charges and, in restricted circumstances, the extra payment of penalties.
I am the registered owner of a freehold premises in Crick but nevertheless pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Crick and has limited impact for conveyancing in Crick but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges have existed for many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of new rentcharges post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Crick is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Crick are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.
