The sellers of the house we are looking to purchase hired a conveyancing solicitor in Newton-le-Willows who has recommended a preliminary 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 contract (sometimes known as a shut-out contract) is that it takes away the focus from moving forward with the conveyancing work, so unless it requires minimal or no negotiation then it may transpire to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not promoted by Newton-le-Willows conveyancing solicitors as a result. The other main issue is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted purchaser should not expect to win injunctive relief to bar the vendor disposing of the property to a third party, so the only remedy available under the contract will be the reimbursement of wasted costs and, in rare situations, the additional payment of damages.
I own a freehold property in Newton-le-Willows but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Newton-le-Willows and has limited impact for conveyancing in Newton-le-Willows 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 have existed for hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as a 1st time purchaser of a garden flat in Newton-le-Willows. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Newton-le-Willows?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Newton-le-Willows. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.

Back In 2003, I bought a leasehold house in Newton-le-Willows. Conveyancing and Platform Home Loans Ltd mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing practitioner in Newton-le-Willows who previously acted has long since retired. What should I do?
First make enquiries of HMLR to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. It is not necessary to instruct a Newton-le-Willows conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
