We have rather assertive sellers who has recommended a exclusivity contract with a deposit two thousand pounds. Are such agreements sensible?
Lock out contracts are contracts between a home owner and purchaser giving the buyer a ‘clear field’ to purchase the premises for a certain period of time. Essentially, an exclusivity is a document stating that you should receive a contract at a later time being the main conveyancing contract. It is generally utilised for buyer protection though in some cases, the seller may enjoy an upside from such agreements as well. There are various positives and negatives to using an agreement but you need to check with your conveyancer but note that it may result in costing you extra in conveyancing fees. For this these agreements are rare in relation to conveyancing in Llanfechain.

Having lived in Llanfechain for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to check with 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 health insurance to cover that same illness)

I've found a house that appears to be perfect, at a reasonable figure which is making it all the more appealing. I have since been informed that the title is leasehold as opposed to freehold. I would have thought that there are particular concerns buying a leasehold house in Llanfechain. Conveyancing advisers have not yet been instructed. Will they explain the issues?

The lease will likely included provisions for example requiring the landlord’sconsent to conduct changes to the property.
