The owners have very pushy sellers who has insisted on a lock out contract with a deposit 10k. Are such agreements sensible?
There are two main drawbacks with entering into any lock out contract (also known as an exclusivity agreement) is that it diverts attention away from making progress with the conveyancing process, so unless it requires limited or no negotiation then it may turn out to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not promoted by Garston conveyancing practitioners for this reason. A supplemental issue is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted buyer is extremely unlikely to obtain an injunctive ruling by a court to stop the vendor completing the sale to another buyer, so the only remedy available under the contract will be the reimbursement of abortive charges and, in limited circumstances, the extra payment of damages.
We are selling our property in Garston and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Garston conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Garston. We have lived in Garston for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Garston. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Garston
-
Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one close by in Garston I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Garston suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
