The owners have very brash vendors who has suggested a exclusivity agreement with a payment two thousand pounds. Are such agreements sensible?
This form of contract isn't common in Greenford, conveyancers will often sway 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. In addition, there is no assurance that just because the vendor has signed a lock out contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be tempted to break the contract if they receive a big enough incentive to do so because an aggrieved party with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not equalise the financial benefit that your seller may obtain by breaking the contract, however morally condemnable the behaviour is.

How does conveyancing in Greenford differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Greenford contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Greenford tend to acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Greenford or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Greenford I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Greenford in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
