The owners have very brash sellers who has insisted on a preliminary contract with a deposit of 5k. Are such arrangements appropriate for Hatton conveyancing transactions?
Lock out agreements are agreements binding a home owner and purchaser granting the buyer the sole right to purchase the premises for a certain period of time. Essentially, a lock out agreement is a contract specifying that you should have a contract at a later time which is the contract for the actual sale. It is generally utilised for buyer protection though in many situations, the seller may stand to benefit from such agreements as well. There are many positives and negatives to using an agreement but you need to check with your conveyancer but note that it may result in costing you more in conveyancing charges. For this these agreements are rare when it comes to conveyancing in Hatton.

How does conveyancing in Hatton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Hatton come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because builders in Hatton usually purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Hatton or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Hatton I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hatton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage that many years may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the 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. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
