Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Westerham

The owners have very brash vendors who has suggested a exclusivity agreement with a non-refundable deposit two thousand pounds. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?

This kind of agreement is unusual in Westerham, conveyancers will often try and steer clients away from them as they detract from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. In addition, there is no certainty that just because the vendor has signed an exclusivity contract they will sell to you. They may be in contravention of the agreement if they receive a big enough incentive to do so because a wronged party with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still be duty bound to establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not amount to the financial benefit that the owner may gain by breaking the contract, however morally unworthy it undoubtedly is.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Westerham I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Westerham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

I'm remortgaging my current house to a buy to let loan with The Mortgage Works and I will use the rest of the raised equity as a down payment on another property. The neighborhood we are interested in is Westerham. Will your lawyers be able to act for the two banks and link together the two deals?

Do use our search tool on this page to be sure that the solicitors are approved by both banks. Having checked that they are the solicitor should be able to simultaneously deal with the two deals but you should talk with you conveyancer and make apparent your expectations and needs.
