The vendors of the house we are looking to purchase have appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Pound Hill who has recommended a exclusivity agreement with a payment 6,000. Are such agreements sensible?
This form of agreement isn't common in Pound Hill, conveyancers are often inclined to direct clients away from them as they detract from the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. In addition, there is no guarantee that just because the vendor has signed a lock out contract they will complete the sale with you. They may breach the agreement if they are offered sufficient financial inducement to do so because an aggrieved buyer with the benefit of a lockoutcontract will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not amount to the financial upside that your seller may obtain by breaching the contract, however morally shameful the behaviour is.

We are selling our house in Pound Hill. Does my solicitor need to be required to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently at the moment.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one close by in Pound Hill I like with open areas and station nearby, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Pound Hill in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
