The owners have very pushy sellers who has recommended a preliminary contract with a non-refundable deposit 10k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This kind of agreement is unusual in Stanwick, conveyancers are often inclined to veer clients away from them as they detract from the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer is left exposed. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that just because the vendor has entered into a lock out contract they will sell to you. They may be motivated to break the contract if they receive sufficient offer to do so because an aggrieved buyer with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not equalise the financial upside that your vendor may obtain by reneging on the contract, no matter how morally condemnable the behaviour is.

There are only 62 years remaining on my flat in Stanwick. I need to get lease extension but my landlord is absent. What are my options?
If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you have made all reasonable attempts to find the freeholder. For most situations a specialist should be useful to try and locate and to produce a report which can be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer in relation to investigating the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Stanwick.
