The owners have very assertive sellers who has insisted on a exclusivity contract with a payment 6,000. Are such contracts recommended for The Ridgeway conveyancing transactions?
There are two main downsides with entering into any lock out agreement (occasionally termed a shut-out contract) is that it takes away the focus from progressing with the conveyancing process, so in the absence of it needing limited or no negotiation then it could transpire to be a hindrance. It is not promoted by The Ridgeway conveyancing practitioners as a result. A supplemental issue is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted purchaser should not expect to secure an injunction to prevent the owner disposing of the property to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy open via the agreement will be the recovery of abortive costs and, in restricted situations, the extra payment of penalties.

Just acquired a terraced house in The Ridgeway , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My The Ridgeway conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my ownership is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in The Ridgeway is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. Currently approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration takes place once the buyer is living at the property so an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I am looking for a flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in The Ridgeway I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in The Ridgeway suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
