The vendors of the home we are looking to purchase hired a conveyancing firm in Newburn who has suggested a preliminary agreement with a down payment 6,000. Are such agreements sensible?
This form of preliminary agreement is unusual in Newburn, conveyancers will often sway clients away from them as they detract from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer is left exposed. Secondly, there is no assurance that just because the vendor has entered into an exclusivity agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be inclined to break the contract if they are offered sufficient financial inducement to do so because a wronged party with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still be duty bound to show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not amount to the extra amount that your seller may obtain by breaching the contract, however morally unworthy the behaviour is.
Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Newburn costs more?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Newburn is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
My fiance and I may need to sub-let our Newburn ground floor flat temporarily due to a new job. We instructed a Newburn conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
The lease dictates the relationship between the landlord and you the flat owner; specifically, it will indicate if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. The majority of leases in Newburn do not contain an absolute prevention of subletting – such a provision would undoubtedly devalue the property. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the tenancy agreement.
