The vendors of the house we are purchasing have instructed a conveyancing practitioner in Golders Green who has insisted on a lock out agreement with a non-refundable deposit 6,000. Are such contracts generally advanced for Golders Green conveyancing transactions?
Exclusivity contracts are contracts between a property vendor and prospective buyer granting the buyer exclusive rights to purchase the premises within a prescribed time frame. Essentially, a lock out is a document specifying that you will receive a contract at a later time which is the main conveyancing contract. It tends to be utilised for buyer assurance though in some cases, the vendor may stand to benefit from such agreements as well. There are numerous positives and negatives to using an agreement but you need to check with your lawyer but note that it may result in costing you extra in conveyancing fees. In light of these reasons these contracts are rare when it comes to conveyancing in Golders Green.

My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent informed us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's recommended conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor used to conveyancing in Golders Green
It is improbable the owners are driving this. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is counter productive. Contact the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to instruct your own,trusted Golders Green conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing targets pre-set by corporate headquarters.
I wish to rent out my leasehold flat in Golders Green. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
A small minority of properties in Golders Green do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
