The owners have rather brash sellers who has suggested a lock out contract with a non-refundable deposit 6,000. Are such agreements sensible?
This type of preliminary agreement isn't frequently used in Sandgate, conveyancers are often inclined to veer clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the main conveyancing focus and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the lawyer at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Secondly, there is no assurance that just because the seller has executed an exclusivity agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may breach the contract if they are offered a big enough incentive to do so because a wronged buyer with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still be duty bound to show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not equate the financial benefit that the owner may secure by breaking the contract, no matter how morally condemnable that may be.

It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Sandgate to discover Conveyancing in Sandgate in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats rather than the landlord insuring the entire block - which is clearly better. You should double check with your conveyancing practitioner but it would seem that your lawyer is attempting to establish that the whole building is insured. Insuring a ground floor apartment is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be rebuilt for lack of insurance cover.
