The owners have very brash sellers who has suggested a exclusivity contract with a payment 6,000. Are such agreements sensible?
This kind of agreement is not the norm in Hindley, conveyancers are often found to direct clients away from them as they divert attention from the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor is left exposed. Furthermore, there is no assurance that just because the vendor has executed a lock out agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be inclined to break the agreement if they are offered a big enough offer to do so because a wronged purchaser with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not compare to the extra amount that the owner may obtain by reneging on the agreement, no matter how morally shameful that may be.

Every so often a third party with a vested interest will try and sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way.

Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do something that is against your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As the lease gets shorter the value of the lease reduces and results in it becoming more expensive to extend the lease. For this reason it is often a good idea to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage lenders may be reluctant to lend money on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We advise that you seek professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.
