We have very pushy sellers who has suggested a lock out contract with a non-refundable deposit of 5k. Are such arrangements appropriate for Limbury conveyancing transactions?
This kind of preliminary agreement is unusual in Limbury, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Secondly, there is no guarantee that just because the vendor has executed an exclusivity agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the contract if they receive a large enough incentive to do so because a wronged buyer with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still be duty bound to show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not equalise the financial upside that your vendor may obtain by breaching the agreement, no matter how morally unworthy it undoubtedly is.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Limbury is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Limbury are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Limbury you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Limbury may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
