This kind of preliminary agreement isn't frequently used in Great Linford, conveyancers will often try and steer 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 at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. In addition, there is no assurance that just because the seller has signed an exclusivity agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be tempted to break the agreement if they receive a large enough offer to do so because an aggrieved party with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still have to establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not equate the financial upside that your seller may secure by breaking the contract, no matter how morally reprehensible it undoubtedly is.

There is not much else in Great Linford in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted.
