We have rather pushy vendors who has suggested a preliminary agreement with a payment 6,000. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
There are two main drawbacks with signing a lock out contract (occasionally referred to as an exclusivity agreement) is that it diverts attention away from making progress with the conveyancing process, so unless it requires limited or no negotiation then it may transpire to be unhelpful. It is not promoted amongst Sedbergh conveyancing solicitors as a result. A further issue is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer is extremely unlikely to be issued with an injunctive ruling by a court to stop the seller disposing of the property to another buyer, so the only remedy available under the contract will be the recovery of wasted costs and, in restricted circumstances, the extra payment of penalties.
Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Sedbergh costs more?
Sedbergh leasehold conveyancing transactions usually involve additional investigations than freeholds including investigating the Lease, liaising with the Landlord such as serving appropriate notices on the Landlord or managing agent, obtaining up-to-date service charge and management information, obtaining Landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts and formation documents.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Sedbergh I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Sedbergh in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
