We have very brash sellers who has insisted on a preliminary agreement with a non-refundable deposit 6,000. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This form of contract isn't frequently used in Moss Nook, conveyancers will often sway clients away from them as they divert attention from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit 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 entered into an exclusivity agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be motivated to break the agreement if they receive a big enough financial inducement to do so because a wronged claimant with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still have to establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not amount to the extra amount that your seller may obtain by breaking the agreement, however morally reprehensible the behaviour is.
I own a freehold residence in Moss Nook but still pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Moss Nook and has limited impact for conveyancing in Moss Nook but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be extinguished.

Do I need to be wary about estate agents that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Moss Nook conveyancing practice?
As with many service providers, often referrals from relatives can be most helpful. Yet there are lots of people with a keen interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks might all recommend lawyers to select. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there might be a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are free to select your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that some mortgage providers specify a panel list of conveyancers you are obliged to use for the mortgage aspect of your house move.
