The sellers of the property we are purchasing have instructed a conveyancing practitioner in Llanrumney who has recommended a lock out contract with a down payment 10k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
There are a couple of primary downsides with executing a lock out agreement (occasionally referred to as a no-shop agreement) is that it can distract from making progress with the conveyancing transaction itself, so unless it requires little or no negotiation then it may turn out to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not promoted by Llanrumney conveyancing practitioners as a result. A supplemental concern is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted buyer should not expect to win an injunctive ruling by a court to prohibit the vendor selling to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy available under the contract will be the recovery of wasted costs and, in restricted circumstances, the additional payment of penalties.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Llanrumney I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Llanrumney for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
