The owners of the house we are hoping to buy have instructed a conveyancing firm in Pentre who has insisted on a lock out agreement with a payment of 5k. Are such agreements sensible?
This kind of agreement is not the norm in Pentre, conveyancers are often inclined to direct clients away from them as they divert attention from the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer is left exposed. In addition, there is no certainty that just because the owner has signed an exclusivity agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be motivated to break the agreement if they receive sufficient incentive to do so because an aggrieved party with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still be duty bound to show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not amount to the extra amount that the owner may obtain by breaking the contract, however morally reprehensible it undoubtedly is.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two flats in Pentre both have about 50 years remaining on the leases. Will this present a problem?
There are no two ways about it. A leasehold apartment in Pentre is a wasting asset as a result of the reducing lease term. The closer the lease gets to zero years unexpired, the more it reduces the salability of the premises. The majority of purchasers and mortgage companies, leases with less than 75 years become less and less attractive. On a more upbeat note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the premises for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of a residence with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Pentre conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge.

You need to ensure that the agreed terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
