We have rather pushy vendors who has insisted on a exclusivity agreement with a payment 10k. Are such agreements sensible?
There are a couple of primary concerns with signing a lock out contract (sometimes known as a no-shop agreement) is that it diverts attention away from making progress with the conveyancing transaction itself, so unless it requires limited or no negotiation then it could transpire to be a hindrance. It is not particularly popular by Crook conveyancing solicitors as a result. A supplemental issue is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer should not expect to secure an injunction to prohibit the vendor selling to another buyer, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the reimbursement of abortive costs and, in limited scenarios, the extra payment of damages.

After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Crook. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an upfront payment of £150. Soon after, the lawyer called me to say that they were not on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Barclays panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I am attracted to a couple of flats in Crook both have approximately forty five years unexpired on the lease term. Do I need to be concerned?
There are plenty of short leases in Crook. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As a lease gets shorter the saleability of the lease decreases and it becomes more costly to extend the lease. This is why it is advisable to increase the term of the lease. It is often difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage companies may be reluctant to lend money on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We recommend you get professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this field.

It is important to be aware if redecorating or some other major work is coming up to be shared by the tenants and could well dramatically increase the the maintenance charges or result in a specific invoice. If a Crook lease has fewer than 80 years it will have adverse implications on the marketability of the property. It is worth checking with your lender that they are willing to lend given the lease term. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will probably need a lease extension sooner rather than later and it is worth discovering how much this would cost. For most Crooklease extensions you will need to own the property for a couple of years in order to be eligible to exercise a lease extension. How many years remain on the lease?
