The owners of the home we are hoping to buy have instructed a conveyancing practitioner in Sandown who has suggested a preliminary contract with a payment 6,000. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
There are a couple of main concerns with entering into any lock out contract (also referred to as an exclusivity agreement) is that it can distract from progressing with the conveyancing transaction itself, so unless it requires minimal or no negotiation then it could transpire to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not particularly popular amongst Sandown conveyancing practitioners as a result. A supplemental negative is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted buyer should not expect to be granted an injunctive ruling by a court to prohibit the seller selling to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy open via the agreement will be the recovery of abortive charges and, in restricted scenarios, the extra payment of damages.

We're new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent has warned us that the owners will only move forward if we appoint their recommended lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’.

Is it legal for a freeholder to charge exorbitant fees for a leasehold conveyance in Sandown?
Sandown conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes more often than not necessitates the buyer’s conveyancer sending enquiries for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to answer such questions the majority will be content to do so. They are entitled to charge a reasonable charge for answering questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some situations it is in excess of £800. The management information fee invoiced by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration fees, without which the charge is not strictly payable. In reality one has no choice but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to exchange contracts with the buyer.
I invested in buying a garden flat in Sandown, conveyancing formalities finalised October 1998. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding flats in Sandown with a long lease are worth £260,000. The ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2100
With just 74 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 plus legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
