We have very assertive sellers who has suggested a exclusivity contract with a non-refundable deposit 10k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?

There are two primary drawbacks with signing a lock out agreement (occasionally termed a shut-out contract) is that it can distract from making progress with the conveyancing transaction itself, so in the absence of it needing little or no negotiation then it may transpire to be unhelpful. It is not promoted by Lutterworth conveyancing practitioners as a result. A supplemental issue is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved purchaser should not expect to secure an injunctive ruling by a court to stop the owner selling to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy open via the contract will be the reimbursement of wasted charges and, in restricted circumstances, the additional payment of penalties.

I am purchasing my first flat in Lutterworth benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead.

There is not much else in Lutterworth suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted.
