Exclusivity agreements are agreements binding a home owner and prospective buyer granting the buyer a ‘clear field’ to the sale of the property for a limited period of time. Essentially, a lock out agreement is a contract specifying that you will have a contract at a later date which is the contract for the actual sale. It tends to be used for buyer confidence though in some cases, the owner may enjoy an upside from such agreements as well. There are numerous positives and negatives to using an agreement but you need to check with your solicitor but note that it may result in incurring more in conveyancing charges. In light of this these contracts are unusual when it comes to conveyancing in Swaffham.

There are a number of properties in Swaffham on unadopted lanes. We are purchasing one such property. What would be the advantages and disadvantages of buying a residence on a privately owned road?

Swaffham conveyancing firms will be used to dealing homeson private. Your lawyer will review the Land Registry data to identify any rights or responsibilities. In many cases there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that residents pay into for the upkeep of the road. Where there is one, the road will likely be maintained and look better than council maintained.
