We have rather brash vendors who has insisted on a exclusivity agreement with a payment 10k. Are such arrangements generally advanced for Pentre Halkyn conveyancing transactions?
This form of arrangement is unusual in Pentre Halkyn, conveyancers are often inclined to veer clients away from them as they detract from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the lawyer is left exposed. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that just because the owner has signed an exclusivity contract they will sell to you. They may breach the agreement if they are offered a large enough financial inducement to do so because an aggrieved party with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not equalise the financial upside that your vendor may gain by reneging on the contract, however morally shameful the behaviour is.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Pentre Halkyn with the intention of saving time on the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Pentre Halkyn can be bypassed where you get in touch lawyers as soon as your agents start marketing the property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the purchasers’ solicitors. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Pentre Halkyn state that internal structural alterations or addition of wooden flooring calls for a licence issued by the Landlord consenting to such changes. Where you fail to have the approvals in place do not contact the landlord without contacting your solicitor in the first instance. If you have had conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved before the property is marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where there is a current dispute. You may need to swallow your pride and pay any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is clearly preferable to reveal the dispute as over as opposed to unsettled. Some Pentre Halkyn leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this applies to your lease, it would be prudent to place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are able to meet the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their solicitors.
