We have rather brash sellers who has insisted on a preliminary contract with a non-refundable deposit two thousand pounds. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This form of agreement isn't frequently used in Tintagel, conveyancers will often try and steer clients away from them as they detract from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor is left exposed. Furthermore, there is no certainty that just because the vendor has entered into an exclusivity contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be motivated to break the agreement if they receive a big enough incentive to do so because an aggrieved claimant with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not amount to the extra amount that your seller may secure by breaking the agreement, no matter how morally reprehensible that may be.

I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Tintagel I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Tintagel in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
