We have rather brash sellers who has suggested a preliminary agreement with a non-refundable deposit two thousand pounds. Are such agreements sensible?
This type of arrangement isn't common in Grenoside, conveyancers will often try and steer clients away from them as they detract from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Secondly, there is no assurance that just because the seller has executed a lock out contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the agreement if they receive a big enough offer to do so because a wronged purchaser with the benefit of a lockoutcontract will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not compare to the financial upside that your seller may obtain by reneging on the agreement, no matter how morally shameful it undoubtedly is.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden flat in Grenoside. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just received a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you pay the service charge as usual as all rents and service charges should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
