The owners have very pushy vendors who has insisted on a lock out agreement with a payment of 5k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This form of contract isn't frequently used in Walderslade, conveyancers will often encourage clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the lawyer is left exposed. In addition, there is no assurance that just because the owner has signed a lock out agreement they will sell to you. They may be in contravention of the contract if they receive a big enough incentive to do so because an aggrieved party with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not equalise the extra amount that your vendor may obtain by reneging on the agreement, no matter how morally unworthy it undoubtedly is.
I own a freehold residence in Walderslade yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Walderslade and has limited impact for conveyancing in Walderslade but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be extinguished.

Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.
