The owners have rather pushy sellers who has recommended a lock out contract with a deposit 6,000. Are such agreements sensible?
There are a couple of primary downsides with entering into any lock out contract (also known as a no-shop agreement) is that it diverts attention away from making progress with the conveyancing process, so unless it requires limited or no negotiation then it could turn out to be a hindrance. It is not promoted amongst Standish conveyancing practitioners as a result. A further issue is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved purchaser is extremely unlikely to secure injunctive relief to bar the vendor disposing of the property to another buyer, so the only remedy open via the agreement will be the recovery of abortive costs and, in rare scenarios, the additional payment of damages.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Standish I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Standish suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
