The vendors of the home we are hoping to buy have appointed a conveyancing practitioner in Colyers who has suggested a exclusivity agreement with a down payment two thousand pounds. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This form of contract isn't frequently used in Colyers, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. In addition, there is no assurance that just because the seller has entered into a lock out agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be motivated to break the agreement if they receive a large enough incentive to do so because an aggrieved party with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still have to establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not compare to the extra amount that the owner may secure by reneging on the agreement, however morally unworthy that may be.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Colyers I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Colyers 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 home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
