The owners of the house we are hoping to buy hired a conveyancing solicitor in North End who has suggested a exclusivity contract with a down payment two thousand pounds. Are such contracts promoted for North End conveyancing transactions?
This kind of preliminary agreement is not the norm in North End, conveyancers are often found to veer clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that just because the vendor has signed a lock out contract they will sell to you. They may be tempted to break the agreement if they receive a big enough offer to do so because a wronged claimant with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still have to show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not compare to the extra amount that the owner may obtain by breaking the agreement, no matter how morally condemnable that may be.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. North End is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in North End are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside North End you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in North End may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

I’m about to sell my ground floor flat in North End.Conveyancing is yet to be initiated but I have just had a half-yearly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you pay the maintenance contribution as usual as all rents and service invoices should be apportionedas part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process
