The sellers of the house we are hoping to buy have instructed a conveyancing solicitor in Rhosneigr who has recommended a preliminary agreement with a deposit of 5k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This form of agreement is not the norm in Rhosneigr, conveyancers are often found to direct clients away from them as they detract from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor is left exposed. Secondly, there is no assurance that just because the vendor has executed a lock out contract they will complete the sale with you. They may breach the contract if they receive a big enough financial inducement to do so because an aggrieved purchaser with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still have to show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not compare to the financial benefit that your vendor may obtain by reneging on the agreement, however morally reprehensible the behaviour is.
I own a freehold property in Rhosneigr yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Rhosneigr and has limited impact for conveyancing in Rhosneigr 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 from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be extinguished.

I own a leasehold flat in Rhosneigr. Conveyancing and The Royal Bank of Scotland mortgage organised.
