We have very assertive vendors who has suggested a preliminary agreement with a deposit 6,000. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This form of arrangement isn't frequently used in Iver, conveyancers will often encourage clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the primary focus, namely conveyancing 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 guarantee that just because the owner has signed an exclusivity agreement they will sell to you. They may be motivated to break the contract if they are offered a big enough incentive to do so because a wronged claimant with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still be obliged show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not equalise the extra amount that the owner may secure by breaking the agreement, no matter how morally unworthy the behaviour is.

I am the single beneficiary of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Iver. The Iver property was put into my name in November. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in November. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be caught by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this obligation is primarily there to identify subsales or the quick reselling of property.
At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Iver agreed to, the sellers do nevertheless have an associated purchase.

What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Iver conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should check that your solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. As to the next phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their solicitor to proceed with searches.
My wife and I are downsizing from our property in Iver and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any high street Iver conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed an online conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Iver. Having lived in Iver for three years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Iver from the perspective of saving time on the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Iver can be avoided if you instruct lawyers the minute you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ solicitors. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the Management Company, you should make sure that you are holding the original share document. Organising a duplicate share certificate can be a lengthy process and slows down many a Iver home move. Where a duplicate share certificate is needed, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (if applicable) for this sooner rather than later. If you have carried out any alterations to the premises would they have required Landlord’s consent? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Iver leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or installing wooden flooring require a licence issued by the Landlord consenting to such alterations. Where you dont have the paperwork to hand do not communicate with the landlord without contacting your conveyancer in the first instance. If you have had any disputes with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are settled before the property is marketed. The purchasers and their solicitors will be concerned about purchasing a property where a dispute is unresolved. You will have to accept that you will have to pay any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as historic as opposed to unresolved. You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but it would be wise to double-check via your conveyancers. A purchaser's conveyancer will not be happy to advise their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the remaining number of years is less than 75 years. In the circumstances it is essential at an early stage that you identify whether the lease term for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale.
